Good grief, it's almost Valentine's Day. Where should you go on February 14th, the calendar's annual ode to love? Let us help you. The SFist staff each revealed their top hot spots for romance in San Francisco. Some places are ideal for couples, others are best for lovelorn singles. Let's begin, shall we?

Cedric Westphal: "Angel Island at night — the sky, the stars, the city lights all around you, the boat ride. So close yet so far. Also, Eagle's Point at Land's End, which is where I married my wife."

Ted Weinstein: "South knob of Twin Peaks (not the parking lot, the hilltop just South of that) or Grand View Park (Moraga @ 14th Ave in Inner Sunset) - both are uncrowded, have great views, high on a windy hill. Also, sketching or photographing at Legion of Honor, followed by walk toward Golden Gate Bridge."

Daisy Barringer: "Um, my bed, obviously. Besides that? The bathroom at Solstice that one time. KIDDING. Um, romantic? What does that even mean? I'll go with: The back patio of Zazie on bring your own wine night. Twinkling white lights, heated lamps, and cheap wine. What's more romantic than that? But I also don't really want anyone to know about that, so how about The Wave Organ. Yeah, go there instead."

Jay Barmann: "I like the dog park on the top of Nob Hill, in front of Grace Cathedral. Or one of the benches on the upper Church Street side of Dolores Park."

D. Hanousek: "I think the most potentially romantic spot in the city is the observation deck at the de Young. On a clear night (or day), you are able to experience a beautiful 360-degree view of the city. For me and my husband, it also offers a great view of the room at UCSF where both our children were born. If the museum added comfy couches, candlelight, and swapped out the gift shop for a bar, it would be romantic perfection."

Leanne Maxwell: "The Sausalito ferry. Nothing beats watching the view of San Francisco as you pull away from the dock, sipping wine with the wind in your hair. Once in Sausalito, take a stroll and get some ice cream or coffee, and then hop back on the boat for some more breathtaking views. And wine."

Andrew Dalton: "The most romantic spots are the secret ones, the ones you assume no one but you knows about, or where you can at least pretend like it's your secret for a little while: The ruins and caves at Sutro Baths, Molinari Mana Park, the top of Strawberry Hill in Golden Gate Park, the right bench on the non-stabby side of Buena Vista Park, and this curious little spur of Stanyan Street near Twin Peaks all make for nice spots to share a painfully adorable moment and a flask of whiskey. In the absence of a sweetheart, Tosca Café on Columbus is a perfectly romantic place to drink alone."

Brock Keeling: "The back patio at Arlequin Café in Hayes Valley just before noon; the intersection of 24th and Florida (for reasons best left unsaid); walking around downtown after midnight; and, in a seedy pinch, the back room at the Powerhouse. (Ha! I'm totally kidding about the last one. Kinda.)"
