Saratoga Springs Named One Of NY's Best Romantic Getaways

Sometimes the best option for what you are planning is right under your nose! And if you are looking for romance look no further than Saratoga Springs. Big 7 Travel has named the city one of the 7 best romantic getaways in the Empire State because it is a "... great getaway for health-oriented love birds...(where)...you can enjoy candlelight dinners in fine-dining restaurants, taste new wines, and sip craft beverages with your significant other in wineries and breweries."

Some of my favorite romantic spots in Saratoga include 15 Church for a great meal, a drink or 2 at The Wine Bar, and well any waterfront spot on Saratoga Lake! And hey, if you have kids that short drive will save you a few bucks when it comes to childcare!
