Having that one special someone isn’t a prerequisite to enjoying candy hearts and sweet cards this week…celebrate the wonderful female friendships in your life on Galentine’s Day!  First memorialized on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” by Amy Poehler’s character Leslie Knope, Galentine’s Day is the day to celebrate the fabulous female friends in your life sometime around Valentine’s Day.  In honor of the occasion and in true Galentine’s Day fashion, we’ve rounded up the best spots to enjoy brunch with your favorite ladies.  

If you’re feeling fancy, the Farmers Pick Buffet inside Isle Casino Cape Girardeau has a lovely champagne brunch every Sunday morning from 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Say yes to cake for breakfast at My Daddy’s Cheesecake, which also offers breakfast sandwiches and omelets.  Socials Cafe has a wonderful atmosphere for a leisurely brunch with your girlfriends, and Cup N’ Cork is another downtown spot where you can enjoy breakfast, coffee and sweets.  

Take advantage of this season of love and romance to have a ball with your best lady friends!

My sisters and I always get together for the occasion and have snacks, dessert and an under $5 gift exchange.  Do you celebrate Galentine’s Day, or have another fun way to mark Valentine’s Day?

This is just a very small handful of brunch spots; a full listing of Cape Girardeau restaurants is available here.
