Whether it’s your first, 10th, or 100th time out together, a picnic is never a bad idea for a fun date! All you need is a few of your favorite snacks, a blanket, and some sunscreen, and you\u2019ve got everything you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you can picnic literally anywhere, from a public park to your own backyard, some cities are simply better designed for picnics than others. That\u2019s why we at Shane Co.<\/a> called on our research team to map out picnic hotspots around the U.S. We analyzed a variety of factors relating to the outdoors, food options, costs, and more in order to determine the best cities for a picnic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To conduct our analysis, we started with a list of 100 of the largest cities in the U.S. We collected data on 14 different factors in three categories: weather, food and beverage, and parks. Each factor was assigned a weight, based on its importance to a picnic. From there, we converted the data into a score of 0 to 5, with 5 being the most favorable conditions. Those scores were multiplied by their factors’ weight and added together for a possible total score of 100. You can find a complete list of ranking factors, weights, and sources at the bottom of this page.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
