\n2. Los Angeles, California:<\/strong> It\u2019s official: Los Angeles is the second most romantic city in the US, according to Yelp.com<\/a>. The website analyzed its search results and discovered that Angelenos are looking for \u201cromantic restaurants\u201d, \u201cchocolate covered strawberries\u201d, and \u201clingerie\u201d at high rates\u2014indicating they know how to have a good time. It\u2019s no surprise that LA residents are pre-occupied with romance; a significant chunk of the local population is comprised of attractive surfers, model\/actors and buff ex-governors. Tacoma, Washington beat out LA as the most romantic city in the Yelp analysis; but wouldn\u2019t you prefer tor spend Valentine\u2019s Day in Hollywood instead of Tacoma\u2019s Museum of Glass?<\/p>\n

\n3. Niagara Falls, New York:<\/strong> Niagara Falls is a popular destination for young lovers and has attracted honeymooners for decades (see Marilyn Monroe\u2019s 1953 film, Niagara<\/em>, for evidence). The falls sit on the US-Canadian border and are known for their incredible power. They\u2019ve inspired thrill-seekers to tightrope across the water and dive off the 167 ft. tall ledge in wooden barrels. Less adventurous travelers have \u201ctaken the plunge\u201d by proposing to their girlfriends on the observation decks. Whether you are already hitched or planning to pop the question, consider a visit to this classic American destination.<\/p>\n

\n4. Miami, Florida:<\/strong> Sunny weather, skimpy outfits and salsa beats make Miami a hotbed of romance.
