If you're participating in Galentine's Day this year, there's really no other way to celebrate.
Treating your bestie to a one-off experience is always better than some chocolates and flowers- it shows you care and gives you the chance to head out for the day and have some much-needed chill time with them.
Neighbourhood have clearly been thinking about this too and are hosting a Galetines themed bottomless brunch event this weekend to help us celebrate the girls (or guys) that mean the most to us in the best way possible- with unlimited booze.

A full ninety minute sitting will be available on Sunday 13 February, so there's no excuses not to book in for a weekend session.
On arrival, guests will be treated to a themed cocktail before moving on to embarking on a mission to see how much gin and Prosecco you can fit into the bottomless.
The lovingly themed cocktails come as either a 'P.S I Love You' drink with Pampero Blanco, Frangelico, Bailey, Kahlua, milk and ice cream or the 'Strawberry Kiss' a Prosecco-based drink with créme de fraise, stawberry purée and lemon juice.

Neighbourhood really know the way to our hearts (through our stomaches) and ensure you're never without a bite to eat. Whilst you wait for your main, there's Edamame Hummus to snack on with pickled red chilli and adorable heart-shaped pitta breads.
Expect main courses that truly embody 'a bottomless with the girls': they're very Instagrammable and sound as equally delicious. Think pink pancakes with mixed berry compote, chicken caesar salad with sourdough croutons and parmesan, as well as the main reason nobody can afford a house deposit: the millennial favourite, avo on toast.
Other options include a sweet but savoury southern fried chicken on a bed of waffles, streaky bacon and maple syrup; Eggs Royale and beef sliders with aged cheddar, pickles and mac sauce.
All this is served to the beat of a live DJ with bottomless Prosecco rose, gin, vodka or beer- a dreamy list of drinks that's certain to have a tipple for everyone.
If you needed any more excuses, tickets are just £40 per person and you can add a dessert for just £3.50.
Grab your Galentine and book a table 12pm - 6pm on Sunday 13 February to make the most of this exciting event- and hurry, we're certain this will be a sell out.

Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

Next stop? Leeds. And we couldn't be happier about it.
So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.
Leeds has been crowned the best city in the UK for foodies outside of London
Clementine Hall
It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
