MARLBOROUGH, Mass.,
Feb. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- No
matter how strong your hometown pride is, as the temperatures drop
and colder weather blankets the country this winter, some cities
are simply considered cozier places to hunker down than others.
Whether you're a busy city-dweller on the East Coast or a laid-back
resident in a West Coast town, the definition of cozy can hold many
similarities. For the fourth consecutive year, the marketers of
Honeywell Heaters and environmental researchers have set out to
define coziness and have revealed this year's list of America's
Coziest Cities.
"A lot of consideration went into determining how the definition
of coziness is evolving. For some, a small town nestled in the
mountains might be cozy, whereas to others, a city with historic
architecture and quaint, winding streets may also be cozy. Central
to these themes is the ability to find refuge from winter with
warmth and creature comforts," said Dr. Ted
Myatt, an environmental scientist who partnered with the
marketers of Honeywell Heaters to help determine the list. "This
year, we looked at cities located within close proximity to ski
resorts and also urban centers with a higher number of tiny homes,
both of which could be associated with cozy environments. For
consistency with years past, we also looked at the number of
specialty stores per capita in each city including coffee shops,
bakeries, bed and breakfasts, and independent grocers."
The top ten America's Coziest Cities are as follows:
- Boston,
Massachusetts
- San Francisco,
California
- Seattle,
Washington
- Albany, New York
- Portland, Oregon
- Rochester, New
York
- Minneapolis,
Minnesota
- Sacramento,
California
- Denver, Colorado
- Salt Lake City,
Utah
