If you're single on Valentine's Day, the world is your oyster!
If you haven’t been shot with Cupid’s arrow yet or your Valentine is yet to be found because he or she is still hiding under a rock, fear not. You have a whole list of things to celebrate on Feb. 14, also known to many as Singles Awareness Day. It’s great to be single on Valentine's Day because you don’t have to please anyone or care about anyone’s opinion of what you want to do.

“It’s all about the heart-shaped box.” So says Ginny Monk of Bromilow’s Homemade Chocolates—and she ought to know. As the granddaughter of the founder, Monk said she's been working in the family business her "entire life.” Opened more than 50 years ago in West Paterson, Bromilow’s still crafts their chocolates on site using their exclusive family recipe. “Our base chocolate has not changed since we started,” said Monk. It’s a chocolate area residents have found and appreciated for the past 34 years, ever since the family expanded their business to West Caldwell with a storefront in the Essex Shopping Mall. For Valentine’s Day, the store offers a wall of heart-shaped boxes, graduating in size and price. The boxes range from a manageable $…

Who says Valentine’s Day needs to be all love and flowers? Let’s face it Verona-Cedar Grove, Sometimes, love doesn’t exactly work out as planned.
