New York City is filled with all things life. It is the city that never sleeps, but just how do you find a place for you and your love to spend a quiet, romantic moment together other than your apartment? That is a good question, but we have come up with some of the most romantic things to do in New York City that will help you forget about the traffic and loud honks or the kids running around screaming. It will feel like you are the only two people left wandering on Earth.
Hudson River Walk
A great way to spend a romantic day in the city is to do the Hudson River Walk in which you calmly stroll over the Hudson River. While holding hands, you and your partner can enjoy a beautiful view of the city. You can even bring a canine companion to come along and make you two look even cuter.
Have a Picnic
Another romantic thing to do in the city is to have a picnic. Picnics are always a romantic way to spend a sunny afternoon. It’s something about the outdoors and nature that gives a different outlook to things. You and your beau can grab a blanket, a basket filled with goodies, some wine, and take delight in a dreamy brunch together in Central Park. You definitely won’t be alone, but the idea is so charming you won’t even notice. Then perhaps after the picnic, you could jump onto one of the carriage rides. Who wouldn’t feel like a princess while riding in a carriage with a male companion, whether he be the man of your dreams or a first date? A carriage ride in New York City will feel like a fantasy come true, and hopefully, other wishes will also come true.
The Loeb Boathouse
The Loeb Boathouse in Central Park is an addition to great spots for romantics. The two of you can enjoy of a Venetian Gondola experience and fall more in love with the sounds of exotic birds and nature as your surroundings. As if rowing through the waters wasn’t romantic enough, you can satisfy all your senses by indulging in something sweet to eat or drink while visiting The Loeb Boathouse; remember to keep your feet on the ground.
A Night at Lincoln Center
If your idea of romance is in the arts, then there is no better place than Lincoln Center. Perhaps a performance of the New York City ballet or a musical act can become an unforgettable experience. The ambiance of harmonious music to your ears with impressive jumps and swirls can only make you feel like getting up to jump with joy for being at such a wonderful place with such a wonderful man.
Explore the Metropolitan Museum
A day spent at the Metropolitan Museum can be filled with culture, knowledge, and affectionate admiration. Take your time gliding through each of the Met’s exciting sights and get lost in each other’s understanding of Andy Warhol’s modern art or Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
Brooklyn Botanical Garden
Make a quick trip to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden in which you will come across flushing strips of beautiful color. Gardens are a place where romance is always in the air and what better than to take a romantic step through blooming plants and get lost in a maze of roses, lilacs, and much more.
Walk the High Line
Talk a romantic stroll on the High Line in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC. This spectacular spot is the perfect green space that used to be an old railroad track. It also happens to be a great place to take in creative street art.
