Living in New York can be such a pleasant and wonderful experience. New York City has the reputation of being the Mecca and
cultural capital of the world. Love and courtship in New York flourishes like no other. There is absolutely no other place
on Earth where a guy can impress a girl by wining and dining her on practically every cultural dish ever known to mankind
(ok I'm exaggerating here but cut me a break). So I think if you been reading between the lines that you are getting the
picture. New York City is filled with little relaxing get away spots that can surely put the romance where it should be; in
your date.
Now don't get me wrong, dating in New York has its positives and negatives. One of the major drawbacks of living in such a
beautiful happening town is that it can be expensive. After all, New York is home to some of the highest rents on earth!
But don't worry, keep reading because I'm about to share the Top 5 romantic dating ideas right here in New York City that
will hardly make a dent in your pockets.
Battery Park
Whether it is day or night, Battery Park can be very romantic. This park is huge, approximately 25-acres of public park.
It is located at the southern tip of Manhattan, facing New York Harbor. What that means is that you and your date will be
viewing some very great romantic scenes looking over the harbor. There is nothing more romantic than looking at the ocean
at night, and there is absolutely no cost to you, you can even take public transportation to avoid looking for
parking.
Ellis Island Immigration Museum
What makes the Ellis Island Museum romantic is that you can practically get lost (100,000 square feet) with your date in the
place. The museum is divided into four exhibition halls, which includes galleries, theaters, history studio, and the
library. The museum is located right within view of Battery Park, in fact you can catch a very romantic ferry ride from
Battery Park to the Museum and see the Statute of Liberty on your way. Admission to the Museum is free.
The United Nations
At first glance you may think that this may not be such a romantic idea, but think about this, most women can't resist a man
who is well verse in culture and history. If you can show your date a good time and maybe talk to her a little about those
articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (no, seriously), then you are half way home. Admission to the
United Nations is $ 12.50 and the tour last approximately 45 minutes. You can access the visitor's entrance on First Avenue
& 46th Street.
Central Park
If you are in the city, why not take her to a National Historic Landmark. Millions of couples have visited Central Park
during their courtship, because it is a wonderful date idea. The trick to this date is planning because it all depends on
the season and the weather. In Summer, there are lots of activities going on. You can take in a romantic stroll by the
several lakes and ponds. If available, you can enjoy the Shakespeare in the Park activities. In the Winter, you can take
your date to the ice-skating rinks.
Horse Drawn Carriage Ride
I could not resist on this one. Once you leave Central Park, you can take a stroll around the city. To get the most
romantic impact, I would recommend you doing this one at night. Generally you can find a carriage as late as 1 AM during
the weekends lined up along Central Park South at 59th Street, across from the Plaza Hotel. This actually can be a good
idea if you are on a double date because four people can fit in the carriage. The ride cost about $ 35 per 1/2 hour ride
(not per person).
