Rather than reschedule, it\u2019s easy enough to find activities that are safe from the rain and let you have a wonderful time. However, some cities are better than others when planning a fantastic rainy day date. So which cities are the best for bad weather romance? Let&#8217;s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Findings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The best city for a rainy day date is Buffalo, New York, with a score of 74.15 out of 100. Its relatively inexpensive date costs and high number of indoor date locations make it the top choice in our study.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The worst city for a rainy day date is Los Angeles, California, with a score of 25.3 out of 100. Its lack of rain is the main reason behind this, but expensive date night costs are a big factor as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 10 Best U.S. Cities to Enjoy a Rainy Day Date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"90a3b7\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1667px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1667\/1750;--dominant-color: #90a3b7;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1667\" height=\"1750\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1667px) 100vw, 1667px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1.png\" alt=\"A U.S. map plotting out the best cities to enjoy a rainy day date\" class=\"wp-image-9242 not-transparent lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1.png 1667w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1-286x300.png 286w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1-366x384.png 366w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1-768x806.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1-1463x1536.png 1463w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1-380x399.png 380w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1-800x840.png 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1-1160x1218.png 1160w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_1_StateMap-1-24x24.png 24w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going to have a rainy day date, you\u2019re best off doing it in a city on the East Coast or in the Midwest. After analyzing many factors, we discovered that the best places to enjoy a date on a rainy day all have a variety of indoor activities, great restaurant and bar scenes, and affordable prices for food, drinks, and entertainment. If you have those three things, you\u2019re going to have a memorable date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffalo, New York, is the best city in the United States to have a rainy day date because it has high numbers of roller rinks and bowling alleys, and if you go to a bar for drinks, you can get a few cocktails for about $18. A full meal at a nice restaurant in Buffalo averages out to $73 for two people, or you can go to a movie for $27. There are also a number of museums to check out (the Albright-Knox Art Gallery has over 5,000 works of art), or you can head to Helium Comedy Club for a night of laughs, drinks, and snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartford, Connecticut, is the next best city to have a rainy day date, with a variety of great museums, movie theaters, bars, and restaurants. If you\u2019re up to it, Hartford also has great roller rinks and amazing comedy clubs, which are both good date activities to help break the ice. Dining out in Hartford will also cost you less than in Buffalo \u2014 it\u2019s closer to $60 for two people at a nice restaurant \u2014 plus beers are still cheap and Uber rides are affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is the third best city for a rainy date because, although the overall cost of living in Milwaukee is lower than in Hartford, it doesn\u2019t have quite the same selection of activities. However, the nice thing about Milwaukee is that dinner for two at an upscale restaurant will only run you around $50, and with a thriving local brewery scene, you\u2019ll easily find good bars to hang out at. For daytime activities, definitely check out the Milwaukee Art Museum and its breathtaking architecture. At night, head to the nearest bowling alley for a laid-back date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">U.S. Cities Where Rainy Day Dates Are More Fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"9ca9b9\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1668px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1668\/2518;--dominant-color: #9ca9b9;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1668\" height=\"2518\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1668px) 100vw, 1668px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1.png\" alt=\"A U.S. map showing the best cities for rainy day dates in different categories\" class=\"wp-image-9244 not-transparent lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1.png 1668w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1-254x384.png 254w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1-768x1159.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1-1017x1536.png 1017w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1-1357x2048.png 1357w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1-380x574.png 380w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1-800x1208.png 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ShaneCo_RainyDayDates_2_CategoryMap-1-1160x1751.png 1160w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can have a lovely date on a rainy day anywhere, there are some key factors that make it much easier to achieve in certain cities rather than others. The most impactful components are the average number of rainy days, the number and variety of indoor activities, and the cost of food, drinks, and transportation in each city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One reason Buffalo, Hartford, and Milwaukee ended up in the top three spots is that those locations all have a relatively high number of rainy days every year. Places such as Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Portland are also known for their raininess, so the residents of those cities are similarly well prepared with things to do that don\u2019t require going outside. Seattle and Portland are also famous for their restaurant and bar scenes, although both are more expensive than our top three picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep your date within a budget, there are a few other East Coast and mid-South cities to consider. Restaurant prices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are lower than in our budget-friendly pick of Milwaukee, and if you enjoy getting cozy over a cup of coffee, you\u2019ll find great cafes in Pittsburgh with robust and delicious coffee drinks for $4 each. However, if the bar scene is more your thing, Memphis, Tennessee, has many to choose from that won\u2019t cost much at all \u2014 you can get a couple of beers in Memphis for less than $9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s more to any date than just eating and drinking. If you\u2019re looking for places with a good mix of daytime and nighttime activities, Providence, Rhode Island, is the place to go. The city has an abundance of museums, roller rinks, and comedy clubs, so no matter what you\u2019re interested in, you\u2019ll easily find an enjoyable and memorable way to spend your date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closing Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when the world decides to rain down on your date plans, with a little creative thinking and planning, you can turn a dreary day into a beautiful date that will last in your memories. With these top cities in mind and all the great dining, drinking, and entertainment recommendations, you have everything you need to put together the perfect date. And if you want to <em>really<\/em> make the night unforgettable, a thoughtful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/gift-ideas\">gift<\/a> from Shane Co. always does the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With their wide selection of necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings, you\u2019ll find stunning jewelry pieces your date will cherish forever. When the rain surprises you, surprise your special someone with timeless jewelry \u2014 they won\u2019t forget it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the best cities for rainy day dates, we analyzed local data from 50 of the largest U.S. cities based on 12 factors that would impact how much fun a couple has when making the most of a dreary day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We assigned cities with a score of 0 to 5 for each factor, where a score of 5 represents the most favorable conditions. Each city\u2019s score was based on the total of the individual factor scores, which were weighted based on how big of an impact they have on rainy day dates.
