Romantic Dinner Cruises in New York

One of the best things to do is to take your partner on a dinner cruise. You can enjoy each other’s company and the beautiful views of New York City. They serve good food and drinks too! The Valentine’s Day Dinner Cruise is a perfect option for Valentine’s Day itself. For any other occasion, I’d choose the Bateaux Dinner Cruise which is one of the most beautiful boats.

Romantic Restaurants in New York

Peak NYC

Right above the Edge observation deck in the 30 Hudson Yards building, you’ll find Peak, a 930 square meter à la carte restaurant with the best views of West Manhattan and a menu that caters to everyone. When the sky turns black and the thousands of lights below you start to shine, Peak is the perfect background for a romantic evening in New York.

Balthazar

Balthazar on Spring Street is always a great restaurant to go to. There is a pretty good chance of celebrity sightings too, and despite the busy French bistro feel, it is still cosy and romantic. The food makes the pricey menu worth it. This is definitely a restaurant for Valentine’s Day for a younger crowd.

Daniel Boulud

Daniel Boulud is also another great chef with many top restaurants in New York. Daniel on East 65th Street is the best. If you want to go all out to impress your date, then this is the place in New York to take them to. With the most impressive decor in a classy restaurant, the French food will blow you away, but only if you can afford it.

La Grande Boucherie

Enjoy the French kitchen at La Grande Boucherie. This restaurant is very elegant and beautiful, creating a romantic ambience. It’s decorated for each season, which makes the place even more stunning. The brasserie is located in Midtown Manhattan and stretches for an entire block. Thanks to the heated floor, you can sit outside all year long. Of course, you can also head inside to have a romantic dinner.
