A “handful” of Staten Island couples took up White Castle on its special Valentine’s Day offer<\/a>. The Advance reports on how it went<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A handful of daring couples and families chose a rather offbeat way to mark the holiday of love last night, opting for a quick dinner of the iconic square burgers and sides of fries.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got candlelight, tablecloths, waiter service — what else could you ask for?” said Bob Williams of Annadale, who was enjoying the event with his fiancee, Ginny McLoughlin of Eltingville, at the White Castle on Hylan Boulevard in Grant City.<\/p>\n

Dinner for two averaged between $15 and $20, including free refills on soda and coffee.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
