Looking to go somewhere romantic this Valentine’s Day? Well, the most romantic cities in the country may not be the ones that first come to mind. OpenTable just released their list of the 25 Most Romantic Cities in America and the results are very surprising.
The reservation site made their determinations based on three things, the percentage of restaurants rated "romantic" by diner reviews; the percentage of tables seated for two; and the percentage of people who dined out for Valentine's Day last year.
And believe it or not, based on these criteria, the most romantic city in the United States is Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, followed by St. Louis, Missouri and Savannah, Georgia. And while you’d think a spot like Manhattan would make it on the list, it didn’t even crack the Top 25. Brooklyn, New York, did, however, make it on the list, at five.
