NYC Dates · 4 min read

First date ideas in NYC

The best first dates are short, public and easy to extend if it clicks. New York makes that easy.

  1. Coffee and a walk on the High Line or along the Hudson River Greenway.
  2. The NYC Ferry at sunset. Cheap, scenic and great for talking.
  3. A museum late night. Several museums stay open late one evening a week.
  4. A food hall. Share small plates from different stalls.
  5. A comedy show at a small club. Laughing together breaks the ice.
  6. A bookstore and a café. Recommend each other a book.
  7. Prospect Park or Central Park with snacks on a sunny afternoon.
  8. An alcohol-free bar. Great drinks, clear heads.
  9. A pottery or cooking class for one evening.
  10. Dessert crawl in the East Village.

Rules that always help

  • Meet in public and get there on your own.
  • Keep it to an hour or two.
  • Pick somewhere you can actually hear each other.
