Sometimes when you go out, you just want to be alone with your baby-boo. But going out often means dealing with a crowd. Loud bars and busy restaurants can make it hard to whisper sweet nothings into your lover's ear, right?

But we know a few spots, even in busy bars, where "alone time" actually means something. Now, don't think this is just a list of places to hook up. These are specific spots in bars and restaurants -- and even a couple of outdoor locales, for summer's sake -- where you can talk, snuggle ... and maybe even get a kiss or two.

The spot: Too many to count.
Why: Yeah, they have plays here, but this massive architectural dreamscape is also open just for drinks and exploration. Grab a beer at any bar (Cue, Target Lounge, Level Five Express) and go find one of the many quiet corners and breathtaking views this place has to offer. A hidden gem: the amber-box lobby on the ninth floor.
