Still trying to figure out plans Valentine's Day. Recently I heard a commercial suggesting laser hair removal would make a great Valentine's Day present. Not sure how many people would be willing to go there or not. Not exactly a romantic give is it?

But maybe you're looking for something a little different. When you think Valentine's Day, lime green probably doesn't come instantly to mind. But the folks at Lime Taqueria and Tequila Bar in West Village want to change that.
