What is the most romantic city in North America? (Chicago, beach, Phoenix)

[casden]

For me it's a four way tie between:

San Francisco
Santa Fe
Quebec City
Cabo San Lucas

I have visited Sedona once, for 4 hours, it was quite charming and very interesting. I've also heard Sedona has terrible traffic and a boring night life.
What is it like to actually live there.
thanks

Hands down, Quebec City. Charleton SC is a good second.

On the subject of romantic movies, The Notebook is a movie that people find incredibly romantic, and filmed exclusively (I think) in Charleton and the surrounding low country.

Lafayette, Louisiana. Just feels like home, to me.... Smart, interesting Cajuns (incredibly open-minded, compared with the rest of the South), plus the best gym in the world (Red's), and the best pastry shop outside Quebec (Poupart's). My Decorator took us there, to get the authentic 'French Colonial' vibe, when we built our dream home in Mississippi. We've been hooked, ever since. If it weren't in Louisiana (so much religion-based anti-woman, anti-gay legislation, and so much Banana Republic style corruption) we would have moved there, when we finally couldn't take another year in miserable Mississippi.

I swear, I get tingly, the minute we get off the long causeway across the swamps, and touch down amid the Sugar Cane fields. And Red's gives me goosebumps! Hottest men on the planet, if you like 'em big and hairy. I see so much eye candy, I totally wear the DH out, when we get back to the hotel.

The best time to go is in the dead of winter (ideal temperatures), or during Festival International de Louisiane (overlaps with New Orleans' Jazzfest, and some tour buses go back and forth, I think). This is not some stupid Southern waste of time, like all the other little 'fests', where you go to hear warmed-over Lite Rock you heard twenty years ago on the radio. Francophone bands from all over the world are there, and the music is truly sophisticated (as are Cajuns, IMHO). Unfortunately, the bands and their families came, saw, and are moving to Lafayette. So immigration is destroying the town, just as it is the rest of the country. And the big box retailers and big developers are doing their own damage, too.

See Lafayette while it's still Cajun. (oh, and Cajun music and Cajun food, of course, are beyond compare. But you knew that already...).

I'm adding Santa Fe and Taos NM to this thread. All the artistry, colors, casual atmosphere, character/charm, history, good food, and the best part tons of spas in the area. The Ojo Calienete geothermal hot springs are awesome. Definitely one of the most romantic area's I've been around.

For me the old southern cities are the most romantic. Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA are probably the top two. Parts of New Orleans are very romantic, but the party/nightlife parts can also detract from the romantic feeling.

For big cities, I say New York and maybe San Francisco.
