Mixologists ready to create cocktails on the spot, in a buzzy, sophisticated atmosphere, with top-notch Italian small plates and inventive desserts like olive oil and sea salt ice cream create the kind of adventurous, fun atmosphere that can really set off sparks. (credit:sftraveler/Gogobot)

9) Perch, Los Angeles, CA(02 of10)

Another rooftop view graces this year's romantic list, as L.A.'s "elevated resting place" wins points for its location, roaring fires, and craft cocktails.
