10 San Francisco
The city’s vibrant cocktail culture will woo anyone. So pick your poison: tiki bar Smuggler’s Cove for exotic rum drinks; retro speakeasy Bourbon & Branch (so exclusive there’s a password); or the (recently updated) RN74 wine bar  for a taste of Wine Country’s finest export.

9 Philadelphia
Tourists embrace in front of the city’s iconic Love Park; locals steal kisses in the Franklin Institute’s Giant Heart exhibit (the site of many a marriage proposal). Do both, then toast the City of Brotherly Love with a cocktail at R2L, with its dramatic 37th-floor views of Philadelphia.

1 Puerto Rico
Come for the sun-drenched days. Stay for the dark, dark nights. At the Gran Melia Puerto Rico Resort, it’s the pristine beaches by day. Far from the city lights, it’s the stargazing at night — so amazing that the resort hired an astronomer. gran-melia-puerto-rico.com
