Single, ready to mingle, and… hungry? 4-star Spanish-Italian restaurant Dehesa is holding a party celebrating anti-Valentine’s Day and all things out of the ordinary in disassociation with this happy holiday. Starting from 2pm, it’s a feast of adulterous proportions, with churros, Estrella beer, and a whole roast pig. Yum. Ditch the calorie concerns and take the opportunity to indulge in your love of food instead – you’ve got no one to impress today, anyway.
