Valentine's Dinner at Rip Van Winkle Gardens
Rip Van Winkle Gardens 5505 Rip Van Winkle Road, New Iberia, Louisiana 70560
Washington Irving's sleepy hero didn't exactly have an age-old romance with his opinionated wife, but his namesake Rip Van Winkle Gardens along Lake Peigneur are just the spot to bring your sweetheart this Valentine's. On a glassed-in porch overlooking the lake and the 350-year-old live oaks, enjoy Café Jefferson's Seafood Heaven, Crawfish Etouffeé, Crabmeat Au Gratin, Eggplant Michelle and other dishes. Seating will be 5:30 pm–7 pm and 7:30 pm–9 pm. Reservations at (337) 359-8525. ripvanwinklegardens.com.
