Midtown West By The Moonlight

Midtown West By The Moonlight
Channel your inner Cher and Nicolas Cage by starting your date at the Lincoln Center fountain, where the co-stars met for a night at the Met opera in the 1987 romantic comedy Moonstruck. For the evening's main event, make plans to catch a show at the Roseland Ballroom.  Although the venue has been featured in films such as Malcolm X and Roseland, it has earned a spot on this round-up for other reasons.  The historic site notably served as inspiration for the fictional Stardust Ballroom in the 1955 film Marty, where sparks fly between Ernest Borgnine and Betsy Blair after a chance encounter.  The venue, known for its legendary line-ups, has featured top-notch performers since the 1920s, from Fred Astaire to, these days, A$AP Rocky and Danny Brown. Stop for dessert on the way over to the corner of West 63 St. and Columbus Ave., where Alvie Singer and Annie Hall say their adieus at the end of Woody Allen's Annie Hall.  Although the two iconic film characters part ways on this pavement, after this show-stopping night, we're confident that you and your date will get back together for another round of romance.
