New York State Not The Home For Lovers?
If you're looking to wow your partner with a romantic getaway, apparently New York State is not the place to take them.
Honeymoon Always surveyed 3,000 couples to find out which lesser-known romantic destinations they would most like to visit. Once completed, they published "America’s Top 175 Alternative Romantic Destinations." On the top of the list, states like Florida and Hawaii shined. Of course they would, how could it not be romantic on a beach and somewhere warm?
