date ideas


for the sports fanatic - Let’s sit court side for The Knicks, drink cheap beer at a Rangers game, hell, I’m even polite enough to let you take me to a Yankees game (but still smart enough not to root for them)

for the culture critic - Opera, The New York City Ballet, Broadway, Off-Broadway, Off-off-broadway

for the lifelong learner - Museum of Natural History, Tenement Museum, Date Night at The Met, MOMA, Fotografiska, The Guggenheim, The Whitney…there’s no shortage of museums to meander through

for the tastemaker - Cooking classes are one of my favorite dates - Let’s make sushi at Osakana, cupcakes at Butter Lane, cocktails at Apotheke, or pasta at Eataly

for the exhibitionist - Museum of Sex, Burlesque show at The Slipper Room, shopping trip to SHAG or Babeland

for the one who needs to relax - Nothing relaxes the mind and the body like a couples massage (…and maybe a glass of champagne afterwards for good measure…)
