Romantic Getaways - New York City's Central Park
Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
There is an abundance of playful things to do, from riding the Central Park Carousel to cheering on model boats racing at Conservatory Water and watching polar bears at the Central Park Zoo. A romantic carriage ride through the park is also a New York City classic.
During the warmer months, go on a romantic gondola ride on the Lake and top it off with a lunch at the Central Park Boathouse overlooking the Lake and the New York City skyline. After lunch, stroll around Bethesda Terrace and down the shady Mall.
If you are looking for privacy and seclusion, take a walk across Bow Bridge and through the Ramble, looking out for rare birds and ducks. At the northern end of the Lake, the path opens up to some of the best views of the City.
In the winter, rent skates at the scenic Wollman Rink and glide across white ice accompanies by music. Dine at the romantic Tavern on the Green restaurant which features a beautiful garden and six distinct rooms decorated with crystal and mirrors.
