Romance in the Big Apple


Yes there are plenty of romantic places in New York City aka The Big Apple. With those places the people, the smells and sounds add to the romance. For example you can watch an action packed movie in the movie theater with your significant other and when you walk outdoors the action is right at your feet you are both in the action together. You can watch a Broadway Play in Midtown or head a little further uptown and watch an Opera or Ballet, live drama always arouses my senses. And if you are feeling like being more in touch with nature head to Central Park, grab a warm pretzel and stroll this beautiful park by yourself or with that special someone. Even better for a quite stroll with a view of the Hudson River, head to Washington Heights and walk on Riverside Drive. No matter what you are looking for The Big Apple offers something for everyone when it comes to romance.
