Valentine's Day dinner reservations?

photo from a Stowe Mountain Lodge promo email

My inbox is filled with promotional emails, but many of them are quite useful! This photo may serve as a just-in-time reminder for readers who may have forgotten to make dinner reservations for Valentine's Day, February 14. Restaurants book up early, so make the call today!
