Date Night in NYC That Aren't Just Dinner & a Movie.

Updated: Jul 20, 2021

You're in New York City- there are no shortages of date ideas, so let's not stop at dinner.


Romantic Cruises


It's hot, it's summer, it's time to do a beautiful sunset cruise, jazz cruise, charcuterie or wine cruises. A dinner for two isn't much less and this is an EXPERIENCE. The best part is the boat docks at Chelsea Piers, so your night does not have to end here! Go bowling or hit the bar scene after.


Food cruises are here.Sunsets and Jazz cruises are here.


Skyline Drive-In



If you have a car and a hot date you NEED to check out Skyline Drive-In. There's always a movie showing so check out the website to find their line up and receive an unparalleled viewing experience next to the Manhattan skyline. Best part is one ticket for a whole car is only $50 so grab some snacks and BYOB.






A Yankees Game


Beers and Ball baby. You can get tickets as low as $35, so spend some time watching Americas pastime. Don't let the $15 beers get you down, there's still something about sports that brings the vibes.


Comedy Shows


Follow @TheNewYorkSpark on Instagram for regular shows but you can't go wrong with the Tiny Cupboard Rooftop Comedy or SESH BYOB Comedy show in the LES.


Rooftop Rock Climbing

Williamsburg has the coolest climbing gym, complete with a café and the perfect location to hop around and grab food, vintage shop, stop by some Farmers markets, even some hopping Rooftop Bars (Berry Park). Head to Vital Brooklyn for a completely fresh date idea.


Summer Concerts


Do some planning! Tickets are going fast everywhere so book now. Here's where to start your search.


Day Passes


Book a day pass at a pool! Check out this website for great spots. It's an amazing scene, order frose by the pool and enjoy a beautiful Saturday. I recommend an afternoon pass and to go after a bottomless brunch!


BOWLING

I love Chelsea Piers, Bowlmor is such a great spot with drinks and food. The Gutter is also a hot spot in Brooklyn, go early to pull a ticket and wait for your turn, but in the meantime it's a fun little dive bar to down some beers. Great double date spot.


Burlesque Show


If you're trying to really break the mold, head to The Slipper Room for a Burlesque Show! Pregame a little, you're in the best part of the LES to really enjoy the scene and grab your tickets beforehand.


Axe Throwing


Beer & Axe Throwing! A surpsingly amazing time for anyone at any athletic level, don't worry about it. This wooly lumberjack themed Brooklyn hot spot is the perfect place to break the mold of your typical Friday night. Book tickets ahead.


Rockaway Beach and Tacos

It's summer- you can not go wrong with a Rockaway beach day date. Hop on the ACE to the S and you'll be there in no time. Then head to Tacoway Beach for margs and tacos!
