New York City is one of the most romantic places in the world and there are myriad of things to do on a date in this amazing city. From breath-taking scenic views to incredible restaurants and iconic tourist spots, the possibilities for a romantic experience in NYC are limitless. To help you sort through those possibilities, here are 10 of the most romantic things to do in New York City:
Barbetta RestaurantBarbetta, one of the most romantic places to eat in New York, is New York City’s oldest Italian restaurant, having originated in 1906. The gorgeous interior uses genuine antiques from 18th century Italy, even incorporating a chandelier directly owned by the Italian royal family at one point. Dinner and a Broadway show in NY could not be a more classic and romantic New York date. |
Carriage RidesOne of the most romantic things to do in New York is to take a carriage ride through Central Park in NYC. Head outside of the Plaza Hotel NY or out into Central Park and you will find a ‘Hansom Cab,’ or horse drawn carriage for a tour of NYC with ease. |
Plaza HotelThere is not a more iconic New York City hotel than the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Having been the backdrop for countless movies that take place in New York City, this NY landmark has gone through multiple renovations, the most recent in 2008. A truly romantic place for any couple on a visit to NYC, the Plaza Hotel can make a long lasting New York moment. |
Lincoln CenterIf music is what puts you in the mood, the majestic Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in NYC is the best place for music in all of New York City. Whether its the ballet, the New York Metropolitan Opera, or the New York Philharmonic, the emotive power of a musical performance can only enhance the romantic NYC experience. |
Rockafeller CenterRockefeller Center is the perfect destination for anyone looking for romance in New York City. If you want to have a hand-in-hand trip around the ice, Rockefeller Center has the iconic skating rink. You can share a cup of coffee with your loved one and take in the NY scenery at the outdoor cafe. A couple looking for a romantic time in NYC could also take in the majesty of Radio City Music Hall. For any romantic time in New York City, Rockefeller Center has it all. |
River CafeWhat makes the River Cafe one of the most romantic spots in New York City is the impeccable view. Sure the food is some of the best in NYC, and the service has been described as the perfect balance between unobtrusive and attentive, but the clincher for any NY romantic evening is the serene view of the East River. Located at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, watch the lights of Manhattan sparkle on the water’s surface as you enjoy a romantic dinner in New York City. |
Empire State BuildingWhen you think of the New York City skyline, you think of the Empire State building. No romantic NYC experience would be complete without a visit to one of America’s most important landmarks. The tallest building in New York City, the view from the top can make anyone fall in love in New York City. The Empire State building is so romantic in fact that many couples take their vows atop the ‘Cathedral of the Skies,’ every year in NYC. |
Central Park BoathouseAnother romantic destination in New York City is the Boathouse Cafe in Central Park. Overlooking the lake, the Boathouse Cafe is the perfect place for a relaxing afternoon by the water watching New Yorkers and visitors alike paddle rowboats. |
Metropolitan Museum of ArtNew York City’s most important, and grandest museum, is an almost overwhelming experience. With everything from Greek and Roman sculptures, to renaissance masterpieces, to 18th century Chinese art, couples in New York City can share the experience of feeling connected to eternity and civilization. |
