Best cities for (chocolate) lovers

Romance fills the air during February. Sweethearts everywhere will exchange tokens of their affection on Feb. 14, and chocolate is one of the most popular ways to profess one’s love.

The website LawnLove.com set out last year to determine what cities in the U.S. had the most to offer those who savor the smooth, deep taste of chocolate. A total of 190 cities were surveyed: The surveyors looked for abundant chocolate factories and high-quality shops selling chocolate, including chocolatiers, dessert shops and patisseries. Also considered were chocolate-themed forms of entertainment like museums, tours, theme parks and events.

Bigger cities seemed to have the advantage, and the state of California registered three of the sweetest sites. But traditionalists will also note the inclusion of a Pennsylvania city that began making a name for itself in chocolate clear back in 1894.
