5 Most Romantic Restaurants

Are you going out with your honey on Valentine's Day? We have some great places to suggest.

1. The most romantic thing about Appalachian Grill is the quality of the food. The steak and seafood will melt in your mouth! With a cozy, lodge feel and a great wine list, it's a perfect place for Valentine's Day dinner with your love. Open Monday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. 2. With its low-light atmosphere, The City Cellar and Loft is a great place for a warm couple to tuck away in a corner. Share one of its yummy desserts — Candied Pecan Bread Pudding or Molten Chocolate Lava Cake. Open Monday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. 3. Delightfully southern with warm stacked stone fireplaces and chandeliers, Dogwood Terrace in Acworth is open all day Saturday and for brunch Sunday. May we suggest pecan-crusted chicken or wild salmon, both drizzled with …

Things You Need to Know Today

Ready, Set, Snow

What do you need to know today? A lot happens in our not-so-little city, but we'll keep you informed.

1. It might be a good idea to stock up and prepare for snow and ice. Although uncertainty about the path and timing of the Wednesday to Thursday storm still exists — forecasters don't know how much winter precipitation we'll get or when — the National Weather Service predicts rain, snow or a mixture with a likelihood of 70 percent Wednesday and a low of 30. The chance continues at 40 percent Thursday when a high of 39 is expected. 2. Tuesday should be sunny with a high of 44 and low of 25. 3. We're gearing up to provide you the information you need to plan your week. Beginning Wednesday and continuing Thursday, you'll see a lot of new stuff on Cartersville Patch and we want your children's artwork to accompany those stories. Send drawings…
