From Carriage Rides in Central Park and boat rides below Bow Bridge, to Belevedere Castle and the Conservatory Garden, Central Park may just be New York City's most romantic place.

If you're looking for an amazing view that's sure to impress, there's nothing that beats the sights from atop the Empire State Building. On a clear day, you can see as far as 80 miles, but nighttime offers the opportunity to gaze at the glowing city below.3. Tiffany's

Pretend you're Miss Holly Golightly, grab yourself a pastry and window shop outside. Or, if you're feeling bold, head inside to peruse the merchandise up close.
4. Brooklyn Botanical Gardens

While it may be a bit chilly outside on Valentine's Day, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom in April, there is no where more romantic than the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Regardless of the weather, BBG's indoor environments offer visitors a pleasant respite from even the coldest of days.
5. Brooklyn Promenade
New York City always looks more beautiful from a distance, but you don't have to go very far to get that perspective. The Brooklyn Promenade offers visitors a spectacular view of lower Manhattan, as well as delicious nearby options, including the famed River Cafe, Grimaldi's and Jacque Torres chocolate shop.6. Ice Skating Rink at Rockefeller Center

The rink will be less crowded once the holiday season has passed, but that won't diminish the romance of spending an hour or two twirling on the ice. And even if you can't skate gracefully, it gives you an excuse to hold hands.
7. Metropolitan Museum of Art

From artifacts of Ancient Rome to the museum's collection of modern art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art offers you an opportunity to show off your more cultured side. If you need an escape from all the art try the Balcony Bar, overlooking the Great Hall, or from May until late Fall, you can head upstairs to the rooftop bar to enjoy a drink together.
