You pass so close to towering red rock canyons in southern Utah that you expect to hear scraping or see sparks as you glide by. They loom so dramatically over you that you stare without blinking. And if you’re on board the train Rocky Mountaineer, you have glass domed and sided coaches to take it all in, all of the majestic landscape on the Rockies to Red Rocks journey between Moab, Utah and Denver.
The Most Romantic City in America Is in … Mississippi?

New York? San Francisco? When it comes to romance, they have nothing on … Biloxi, Mississippi?
Apparently.
OpenTable, the popular online restaurant reservation program, recently released its annual list of the 25 Most Romantic Cities in America, with Biloxi at its top. To be fair, I’ve never been to Biloxi. I have heard it’s wonderful and would certainly never disparage a city I’ve never visited. But I can’t be the only person surprised by this.
Related: 7 Secrets for a More Romantic TripThe list was determined by looking at three criteria: The percentage of restaurants rated “romantic” according to OpenTable diner reviews; the percentage of tables seated for two; and the percentage of people who dined out for Valentine’s Day in 2017. And, of course, this data is based on OpenTable users only, not the general public—so cities where OpenTable isn’t widely used won’t be represented.
So what other cities made the list? Some highlights include Carmel, California; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Antonio, Texas; Brooklyn, New York; and Providence, Rhode Island.
