It’s here again. And while it’s supposed to be the most romantic time of year, you feel pressure. Even though last year, your mate smiled politely at your boudoir bonanza, you get the feeling you didn’t hit the spot. No worries. This year, you have a Valentine hotel guide that will definitely put a genuine smile on your boo’s face.
So you don’t want to do the south beach-thing tonight? You’re looking for reggae, soca and some sexy, old school R & B? First Fridays Florida is back at The Grand Palms, and they’re kicking off the weekend with Hot 105. Ladies are free before 11 p.m. and admission is only twenty bucks, so now you have enough money to splurge on those tequila touchdowns.

Can celibacy be a sexy Valentine’s Day gift? Here you’ve booked a suite at the Setai Miami or the Riverside Hotel. You bought the boutique Champagne, the deep, dark chocolate and the milky music, but guess what? Your boo flipped the script, lost the Primitivo-flavored lubricants and proceeded to show you Yoga positions she or he said are equally gratifying.
Butternut Squash Soup with Sage Croutons. Baby Arugula Salad with Shaved Fennel and Pecorino. Prime Steak and Fontina Cheese Panini with Fries. Sound like an astronomically priced three-course lunch? Well, at The Betsy Hotel’s BLT Steak, it’s 18 bucks. It’s one of a few offerings on the BLT Express menu, but now you don’t have to use your American Express card to pay for it. Haven’t had it, so drop me a line and tell me what you think.
If there wasn’t already enough pressure on the boulevard, this Friday, there’s a Mr. and Ms. Miami Beach Body Contest on Sunny Isles Beach. And it’s free. So whether you’re toting a few extra layers and need a slap in the face to get you in that pilates class or you’re jiggly-and-proud and just want to gawk at the panjandrums of physical perfection, it will be a fun way to kick-off the weekend.
