(East River Park) |
Picnics. Whether
you’re in Central Park or Tompkins Square, lying out a blanket to get close is
the perfect warm weather date. Share packed small bites, sip wine from plastic
cups and bathe in the summer sunshine.
East River Park. Not
only can you admire impressive views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges, but
you and your date can enjoy a range of activities from events in the amphitheater,
to bike paths, sports fields and playgrounds for an athletic date. Pack a lunch
and enjoy it at one of the many tables along the walking path on the water and
make a day of it on the east side, strolling down to the seaport hand in hand.
The Highline. This
elevated public park adds a lovely walk to any summer day date. And while you’re
on the west side, stop by The Standard for suds at the Biergarten or a
late-night dance at Le Bain under the disco ball.
Frying Pan. This docked
boat may be better for a group date, as it is a bit too crowded and loud for an
intimate chat with your crush. Bring your whole crew to keep it casual or make
it a double date on this rocking boozy ship.
Kayaking. Get active
on the water with free kayaking on weekends downtown! Splish and splash your
way into his heart with your adventurous spirit, while cooling down in the
heat.
Brooklyn Crab. Opening
this June, you can spend an afternoon breaking crabs, drinking beers and
getting competitive during a few friendly rounds of mini golf, bocce or
cornhole. Whether you’re on a first date or a group outing, this crab shack
will be the hottest spot in Brooklyn this summer.
Beer Gardens. Go old
school with the classic Bohemian Hall in Astoria or slip your feet in the sand
at Beekman Beer Garden downtown. Chugging giant beers with your crush will
certainly get you both in a tipsy, flirty mood.
Coney Island. Cheat on
your diet with hot dogs and scream on the Cyclone with your new guy. This
boardwalk date provides snacks and good ‘ole wholesome fun all around.
Rooftop Films. Check
their schedule for a range of movies playing on rooftops from Brooklyn to the
Lower East Side.
Rockaway Beach Club.
Lather some sunscreen on your lover and enjoy a real NYC beach date at Rockaway Beach. Rent
bikes, indulge in savory and sweet bites and get your tan on.
Where do you go for the best outdoor summer dates? xo
These are lovely ideas. Totally agree with the Highline - that one's a given. But we've never heard about the Brooklyn Crab. Guess that's the next thing to try when it opens!
