If you and your valentine are fans of the movie "Pitch Perfect," then you are bound to love a night of the area's best a capella! This concert is a tournament of the area's best collegiate talent competing to make it to the Northeast Semifinals. Since there are plenty of teams still in the running, there is also plenty of music to see. This is a great date night idea for people who want to try something a bit different this year and are fans of live music and a capella. Tickets are fairly affordable at a $18 pop, so you'll still have cash left over for a romantic dinner or cocktail after the show.

In the mood for something more low key this Valentine's Day? Spice up the classic dinner and a movie date idea by seeing an omni show instead. This is perfect for couples that love to learn and want to do something fun and educational - this time without being surrounded by kids. Head over to the Museum of Science for the 8 p.m. showing of "Galapagos" to temporarily escape from the cold winter weather and explore this exotic, tropical archipelago. Since the Museum of Science is located near some of Boston's romantic hot spots, like the North End, it is easy to plan a nice dinner before the show.
