  • Bethlehem Bashes Foursquare After “Least Romantic City” Rating. We told you Tuesday about social networking site Foursquare ranking Bethlehem, Pa. the second least romantic city in America, based on check-ins to places deemed “romantic” for couples, including French restaurants, wine bars, flower shops and lingerie boutiques. The release happened to coincide with Bethlehem’s “Week of Romance,” drawing multiple complaints from Bethlehem residents. Now the town has decided to take on Foursquare.

    To refute Foursquare’s claims, the Downtown Bethlehem Association has released a video mockery of the location-based social networking site, depicting a man trying to propose to his girlfriend during the “Week of Romance” before he is repeatedly interrupted by her act of “checking-in.”

    Quick and well-done, Bethlehem. Your move, Foursquare.
