With Valentine’s Day fast approaching we’re feeling the love from our favorite cities across the states. This week we’re rounding up the best date ideas in the city that never sleeps, New York. Inspired by the iconic design of the LAGOS Heart of New York, here are our picks for romance in the Big Apple.
1) For the committed couple, take a snowy stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge around dusk. This landmark is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States and celebrated its 130th birthday this year. Don’t forget to bring along a decorative lock to add to the “love locks” found around the bridge symbolizing your love.
2) Bring your budding romance stargazing. Sounds counterintuitive in the city known for its bright lights and bustling crowds but a visit to Grand Central Terminal will open your eyes to a “reverse universe.” Created by Paul Cesar Helleu, the mural sprawling above Grand Central Terminal is the backwards depiction of the October zodiac in vibrant gold leaf detail.
3) Take it to the next level with a reservation to see the best skyline views of Manhattan at The Top of The Rock. Arrive in time to see the sunset over New York City and watch the lights ignite the Empire State Building’s façade.
4) Start a new tradition with tickets to tour the backstage of the Radio City Music Hall. Originally opened in 1932, the “showplace of the nation” boasts unparalleled Art Deco interior design and ornate architectural details.
