My wife and I have celebrated every anniversary in a different city for twelve years. I review the places that made the night feel like an occasion.

The Grey Hearth · Atlanta, Georgia

We've done anniversary dinners in eleven cities. The Grey Hearth cracks the top three — mostly for how the night was paced.

Sunrise Balloon Flight over Cappadocia · Göreme, Türkiye

A hundred balloons lifting out of the valleys at first light. We budgeted one splurge for Türkiye and this was the right one.

Destination

Paris · France

Our fourth try at Paris and the first one that felt like ours: three neighborhoods, one museum, zero queues, golden hour at the tower exactly once.

Destination

Positano · Italy

Late September: the sea still warm, the stairs still brutal, the town finally exhaling. The anniversary trip standard-setter.
