When you’re planning an idyllic getaway to New York City, here is your fail-safe plan of action to keep the flames of romance burning brightly.
Delectable Restaurants: For French cuisine at its very finest, head to Daniel and soak up the elegance and impeccable service. Alternatively enjoy fine dining at River Café in Brooklyn near the Brooklyn Bridge. The fabulous views of the skyline may distract you momentarily from one another but the great ambience will soon have you gazing into your sweetheart’s eyes.
Try saying this restaurant name 5 times fast – One If by Land, Two if By Sea. This venue is often quoted as one of the most romantic in the city so head there with your beau for a beautiful evening of classic American cuisine.
Awesome Views: Every romantic vacation needs plenty of opportunities for love bunnies to gaze at some awe inspiring views. Visit the Observatory on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building for a panoramic view of the city. This venue is clearly favored by romantics – it was chosen as the meeting point for the two main characters in the film ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ and is often the desired location for couples looking to tie the knot on Valentine’s Day.
Take a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry which travels between Staten Island and Manhattan for panoramic views of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, and amazing views of the New York skyline. Climb to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and take in your surroundings including the Brooklyn Bridge, the East River and Manhattan.
Picturesque Nature: There is a vast and varied selection of parks to stroll through with your beloved. The Hudson River Park is famous for its river views as is Battery Park both of which are located in Manhattan. The world famous Central Park is definitely worth a visit if only to be amazed by its size. Walk around and find the famous statues such as Hans Christian Andersen, William Shakespeare and Alice in Wonderland – there are 29 in total! At the end of your walk, treat yourselves to a romantic picnic in the park.
Flirty Fun: Sometimes in our busy lives we forget to have some good old fashioned flirty fun. Head to Rockefeller Center and lace up your skates for intimate ice skating with your partner. Lovebirds are guaranteed plenty of amusement on the rink whether they can skate or not. In fact the falling over part and getting some tender, loving care just adds to the enjoyment.
Take a ride in a cozy horse drawn carriage through Central Park. Not only will you see the pond and the zoo, but you can snuggle up together and watch the fast paced New Yorkers go by. If you prefer the water, rent a row boat from the Loeb Boathouse in the park and take a leisurely cruise around the lake.
Laidback Entertainment: For more serene activities there are plenty to choose from. The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts has something for everyone: soothing ballet, classical music recitals, opera and more. If a bedazzling show is more your thing, visit the Broadway Theatre District to see a show at one of the 40 theatres in the area.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art displays every type of artistic item you can imagine, from paintings and sculptures to costumes and armor. There’s no better way to enjoy a museum visit than with your loved one.
Chocolate Lovers: If chocolate gets you in an amorous mood, visit Jacques Torres, one of the most famous chocolate shops in the city. Treat yourselves to some self-indulgent truffles. Or if you’re in the city in the spring go to City Bakery’s Hot Chocolate Festival, which runs from February 1st to March 15th, and enjoy one of the many flavours of hot chocolate on offer and a pretzel croissant.
Sparkling Jewels: New York City boasts a host of attractions for a romantic holiday but your trip would not be complete without visiting Tiffany’s. Even if you can’t afford to let your honey pick out a few of those diamond baubles as a ‘just-because-I-love-you’ gift, visit the store to be amazed by the glittering array of stunning rings, magnificent necklaces and beautiful bracelets.
New York City really does offer lovebirds everything needed for a flawless romantic break so why wait? Book your tour with us http://comforttour.com/tour-1/nyc-bus-tours.html and make it a trip to tell the grandchildren about.
