New York is an expansive metropolis with virtually endless things to see and do. Many of the city’s famous landmarks are in the Midtown area, where you can take in the view from the top of the Empire State Building or catch a Broadway show in the Theater District.
You can spend a whole day navigating the winding paths that course through Central Park. If you’re into art, head over to the Museum Mile to peruse masterpieces of Picasso and Van Gogh at world-class galleries.
In trendy Lower Manhattan, New York’s most fashionable can be found in the high-end boutiques and chain stores of Greenwich Village and SoHo. Underneath a skyline of skyscrapers lies a jumble of cutting-edge restaurants, after-dark entertainment, exciting shopping opportunities, world-famous attractions, and quiet brownstone townhouses.
What Is The Best Things to Do for Couples in New York?
The High Line
The High Line is an elevated walkway that cuts through many of Manhattan’s most visited neighborhoods. It was once the West Side Line train track, but was repurposed in 2009. It’s an ingenious example of gentrification in New York, and a lovely place to stroll surrounded by greenery, with sights of New York all around you. It runs for 1.45 miles in total, from Washington Street in the south to 34th Street and 12th Avenue in the north.
Chelsea Market is roughly halfway along the track and is a nice place for a break. There are 11 different access points along the route, 5 of which are suitable for wheelchairs.
Open: Daily from 7 am to 7 pm in winter (extended opening hours in summer)

Rockefeller Center
Join the horde of tourists at one of New York’s most famous and visited landmarks – the Rockefeller Center. This Art Deco masterpiece houses a shopping mall, several fancy restaurants, as well as NBC Studios, home of Saturday Night Live and Radio City Music Hall. The biggest attraction is probably Top of the Rock, a 260-meter-high observation deck with stunning views over Midtown Manhattan. Many people prefer this view over the Empire State Building, even though it’s not as tall.
The Rockefeller Center is especially popular during the festive season thanks to its ice skating rink, huge Christmas tree, and hanging decorations.

Coney Island
If New York’s city streets get a bit claustrophobic, head to this quaint coastal spot in Brooklyn. Coney Island is a nostalgic look back at how things used to be, with a 3-mile beach, fairground rides, coconut shy-type carnival games, and plenty of sugary snacks. For couples, you’ll find some more risqué shows like burlesque and extroverted circus performances.
A highlight of Coney Island is Luna Park, a theme park with over 50 rides and loads of fairground games. Standout rides include classics like the carousel, the Coney Clipper pirate ship and the Coney Island Cyclone rollercoaster. Don’t miss your chance to try a Feltman’s hot dog – they’re considered some of the best in New York.

Statue of Liberty
There are few more awe-inspiring trips you can take than a sunset sail down the Hudson. Famous sights will drift by, seemingly wherever you look: Battery Park, Ellis Island, and the awe-inspiring figure of Lady Liberty.
Most boat trips start from Chelsea Piers, with all sorts of vessels on offer. For a touch of romance, consider a small schooner so you can enjoy the sights of New York in peace and comfort.
