2nd Annual Galentines Bruch

We have Amy Poehler’s Parks and Recreation character Leslie Knope to thank for Galentine’s Day. She debuted the holiday in a 2010 episode to celebrate her own female friends on Feb. 13, otherwise known as Valentine’s Day eve. As Leslie put it:
“Every February 13, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.”
