Coney Island
Where: Brooklyn
How to get there: D, F, N, Q trains
What to expect: At Coney Island, the boardwalk is the main attraction. Ride the amusement park rides, nom on a hot dog and fries at the original Nathan's, and win a stuffed animal prize for your beau at one of the many carnival-style games. After you've had your fix of fried food and juvenile fun, check out the adjacent boardwalk for some well-deserved relaxation time.
