What are fun activities in NYC for couples?
Any of the items I mentioned above or on the podcast can be consider some of the most fun activities in NYC for couples.
I think a horse and carriage ride or even a pedicab be considered a romantic thing to do for couples in New York City. Also, The Met is a beautiful place to see the artwork, but it also comes alive as a couples night on Friday and Saturday nights. Though you can just bring a friend or someone special, they play music, have drinks, and serve light fare.
Visiting most museums, walking around Central Park or most parks in New York for that matter can be considered a great activity for couples. If you have it in ya, even visit a jazz club or a place to go swing dancing! Maybe you can do both in one spot.
Can you guess where this is?
