"It's the little things that make Winnipeg romantic," Linda Zuzanski, owner/president of Love Nest, a sex shop and boutique, told Winnipeg Sun when asked what could have probably made Winnipeg land on the second place. The area abounds of restaurants and florists.
"And there is 50 Shades of Grey."
"That novel brought on a lot of great fun conversations," she said. "People are much more open now than they were then."
