So, you nailed that first date with someone you met on KRUSH! Now you’re ready to move past the typical dinner and drinks and need some fun, unique, and yet romantic date ideas. Bonus: these summer date ideas are free!
1. Take a Dip in the Pool
It’s pool season! How about enjoying the summer heat at one of NYC’s public outdoor pools? It’s a great way to show off that summer bod you’ve been working on. Astoria Pool, located between the Robert F. Kennedy and Hell Gate Bridges, offers romantic views of the East River and its bridges, making it perfect for a pool date. Don’t forget McCarren Park Pool in Brooklyn, at the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint. It’s always bustling with North Brooklyn locals and visitors, especially when the pool opens in the summer, attracting a crowd of free-spirited hipsters.
2. Summer Movie Night
Outdoor movie screenings have become a beloved summer tradition in the City. And there’s nothing more romantic than the perfect blend of a movie night and the summer evening ambiance. If you’re not a fan of the traditional movie date because you can't really talk with your date, outdoor movie screenings are a much more intimate and enjoyable option. You can chat about the film during the movie, share your thoughts, and enjoy the night together under the stars. Movie Nights at Bryant Park is a classic choice. Enjoy timeless films like Cinema Paradiso and Titanic. Screenings start at 8 PM, but the space opens for picnics from 5 PM, so grab a spot early, lay out a blanket, and enjoy a cozy picnic as the atmosphere builds. For a unique and stylish vibe, head to Brooklyn Bridge Park’s “Movies with a View,” offering stunning views of the lower Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge, with films like Pulp Fiction and Mean Girls that might hit your date’s taste.
3. Paddle Away on the Hudson River
Not ready for a long trip out of the city with your date? No worries! You can still enjoy outdoor sports without leaving New York City. Various boathouses around the city offer free kayaking programs. Hudson River Park’s Pier 26 stands out, providing beautiful views of the lower Manhattan skyline. All skill levels are welcome, with safety equipment and instructions provided, so there’s no need to worry if you’re a complete novice. Exploring the gorgeous Hudson River with the stunning city skyline as your backdrop is one of the most romantic and active dates you can have in the city.
