Three Colorado spots ranked among best ‘alfresco’ dining areas nationwide
The publication DatingAdvice recently released a list of 150 of the most romantic alfresco (open air) dining destinations in the U.S. Three Colorado locations made the cut to be included.
To create the rankings, DatingAdvice held an online panel survey of 3,000 Americans based on age, gender, and geography. Internal data sources were used to obtain population data sets. Researchers also used a two-step process to ensure representativeness through stratified sampling and post-stratification weighting.
