Bling, massages and theater for a memorable time in Elizabeth City in February

Why not plan a romantic getaway to the North Carolina coast? Book a weekend in one of Elizabeth City’s beautifully restored B&Bs and small inns where you are never far from the picturesque Pasquotank River. While staying with our gracious hosts, you'll enjoy nice extra touches and learn about our historic harbor town as well. If you enjoy the flexibility and unique options of Airbnb.com or VRBO.com lodging, Elizabeth City’s historic downtown has added multiple newly renovated apartment and loft options, many with great views of downtown or the waterfront.

Around Valentine’s Day, rings and bling are top of mind but sometimes finding that special piece can be a challenge. You’re only limited by your imagination at Eclectic Jewelry. Bring your own jewelry design to life, in collaboration with owner Maria George, to create a one-of-a-kind piece from start to finish. Or re-design and re-purpose a family heirloom for the perfect, unique bauble. The store also offers a wide selection of contemporary pieces for purchase that have been designed by George.

With its large collection of estate jewelry, a visit to Coppersmith Antiques & Auction Co., is certain to temp and delight. They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend but so are the emeralds, pearls, rubies and blue topaz in Coppersmith’s display cases. Owners Rick and Jennifer Ladich, with their wealth of knowledge, amaze with the details they provide about the provenance of their pieces and they are also happy to search for items for customers.

After you’ve shopped, wind down with a couple’s massage—or one with your BFF—at Anew U Massage Therapy. There are multiple Elizabeth City salons that can help you relax with massages where stress and strain are released, muscle soreness and stiffness are reduced, and overall good health promoted.

Is there anything more romantic than waterfront dining as the sun sets? Stop by Paradiso Roma Ristorante for their freshly homemade pasta and enjoy their beautiful views over the Pasquotank River. Or check out Montero's, our number one ranked restaurant on TripAdvisor. For a complete list of all Elizabeth City dining, click here.

After dinner, take in a show or peruse the art gallery at Arts of the Albemarle with your loved one. Enjoy live music from a regional band and craft beer in the newly renovated historic Pailin’s Alley at Elizabeth City’s microbrewery, Ghost Harbor Brewing.
