The Best Places to Go on a Date in the U.S.

July 18, 2018

Yelp and OkCupid offer the most romantic date spots across eight popular cities. 

A setting can be just as important as the company you keep when it comes to having a good date.

Whether you’re looking to have brunch or try a themed bar, OkCupid and Yelp have put together a collection of the top spots to try across nine different categories in eight popular U.S. cities, with each spot chosen based on over 200,000 votes from OkCupid's users.

Some cities, like Boston, incorporate the larger metro area to include places like Cambridge, since a large majority of OkCupid's users are based there.

Below, you'll find a breakdown of the top date spots across each city as part of OkCupid's 2018 Dater’s Choice Awards.
