Park Central
New York is (a) concrete jungle, but not (b) devoid of all nature. It’s a city of beautiful parks. From Prospect Park to Riverside to Central Park – there is a park in just about every neighborhood. What better way is there to spend a day date than casually strolling through the park that’s round the corner to your place? It’s the lowest of keys and is perfect for those dates that you schedule but could be a hit or a miss. You can bring a flask of (spiked?) hot chocolate, and perch on a bench together until the sun sets. Have him push you on the swings if you’re feeling playful. You can boost your fit bit stats and get your dog a little exercise while you’re at it. Added bonus – your pup is a guaranteed icebreaker, and is a trusted better judge of character than you so will be the first to sniff out the creepers. Lastly, it’s all too easy to extend or escape a casual park date.
