Valentine's Day is just around the corner and thanks to Hallmark, there's no getting away from the red, white, and pink love fest. Whether love is all you need, or you think that people would've had enough of silly love songs, this Weekly Yelp is here to prove to you that L-O-V-E is all around.

L is for local goodness – after all, home is where the heart is. It doesn't get any better than the 46th annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival. Jamie H was pleasantly surprised to find the festival "large enough to hold our interest for several hours, and small enough to 'do' the whole thing in an afternoon." Looking for something slightly more romantic? Love is in the air at the historic Deering Estate's 10th Annual Moonlight and Music Valentine's Day Concert featuring the sultry sounds of jazz vocalist (and Miami native!) Nicole Henry.

O is for orgasmic – orgasmic food, that is! Get into When Harry Met Sally mode with Maroosh's kibbeh nayeh, which tops Carla L's "ohhhhh sooo orgasmic list!" Clearly, she likes it raw. But it's the fresh-baked cookies at Splitsville that hit Sabrina C's sweet spot. She gushes, "It was like a warm, chocolate orgasm in my mouth! Hot and gooey, mmm mmm good!" Ahh love at first bite.

V is for vodka – 'cause even though you can't buy love, you can sure as hell toast to it. Liz T gives in to Asian persuasion with Abokado's sexy Tokyopolitan, made with vodka, sake, Cointreau and white cranberry juice. Meanwhile, Cynthia M gets fresh (cautiously) with Piola's Kiwi Caipiroska: "vodka + sugar + real crushed kiwis = a yummy, dangerous combination." And double the danger, double the yum with their 2-for-1 happy hour Monday through Friday.

E is for epicurean delights – oh, did we already cover food? That's because yelpers L-O-V-E it, so get over it! The way to many a heart is through the tummy, and Maria T hits Marky's Caviar and International Food to pick up to-die-for French goat cheese, escargot, caviar (from Russia to Iran and everywhere in between), and handmade blinis. To make his tastebuds spark, David R pops in a Firecracker from Chuao Chocolatier: "A truffle flavored with chipotle-chile and salt and rolled in pop rocks... that brings out the spice and makes the flavors bounce all over your mouth and down your throat." Um, we'll take three. Happy Valentine's Day!

Bradshaw L. on Romeo's Cafe
"This superb dark little place of just about thirty seats is expensive and worth every bit. There is no menu, the server just asks if there is anything you don't like (or can't eat) and then the little amazing plates come pouring out one after another (5 or 6), each is just as amazingly delicious as…"

Corina B. on Los Gauchitos
"This little jewel is tuck away in the Double Tree Grand Hotel on Biscayne Bay. I went here Saturday night with my husband for a romantic dinner.

This Argentinean Steakhouse is small, cozy and intimate. The restaurant is a little unassuming due to the location, but once you walk inside, you begin to…"

Gustavo A. L. on Romanicos Chocolate
"We saw this place in the food network and immediately made a bee line there - what's funny is that owner was sort of bewildered that they had been featured on national TV -

Anyhow, this place is it !! The assortment is unbeatable, mind you, Chocolate is a product of the Americas and these guys…"
