10 Summer Date Ideas To Try In NYC

The Loeb Boathouse at Central Park

Where: East 72nd Street When: Weekends 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., Weekdays 12p.m. - 4p.m. The Loeb Boathouse is a city institution as important to New York dating culture as The MET is to New York art culture. It is any responsible boyfriend's duty to make sure his girlfriend knows the classic, which includes two annual trips to Central Park at Wollman Rink for ice skating and the Loeb Boathouse for row boating. At only $12 an hour, you can make her feel like a 15-year-old Joey Potter circa Dawson's Creek, paddling toward the boy next door. After your hour, choose from the three restaurants; The Outside Bar, The Lakeside Restaurant, or The Express Cafe. [Photo via]
