Central Park Picnic and Rowboating
This budget-friendly date idea involves a combination of a lovely picnic amidst the lush greenery of Central Park followed by a fun session of row boating in the park's scenic lake. Complete with beautiful views, it's the perfect outdoors date for nature-loving couples.
- You begin your date bright and early in the morning by packing a picnic basket together. Your basket includes homemade sandwiches, a bottle of wine, and your partner's favorite dessert. Once everything is packed and ready, you head out to Central Park, which looks beautiful in the September sun.
- Finding a great spot under a colorful tree, you spend the next hour enjoying a delicious picnic. After the picnic, it's time for some fun. You rent a rowboat from the Loeb Boathouse and begin your adventure on the lake. The sight of the NYC skyline reflecting off the calm lake water is breathtaking.
- As the sun starts to set, you row your way to a secluded corner of the lake. There, surrounded by the golden hues of the sunset, you spend some quaint time with your partner, creating a memory that you'll cherish forever.
Preparation steps:
- To prepare for the date, start by preparing a picnic basket. Make sandwiches or buy them from your partner's favorite deli. Be sure to pack a nice bottle of wine and your partner's favorite dessert. Also, pack a comfy blanket to sit on, some paper plates, and cutlery - don't forget the corkscrew for the wine.
- Before heading out, check the weather forecast and dress appropriately for an outdoor event. Comfortable shoes for walking are a must. Additionally, consider bringing sunblock, a hat and sunglasses for sunny weather.
- Lastly, familiarize yourself with the Park's layout and the boating rules at The Loeb Boathouse. For a perfect date, it's important that you have all the necessary information and take all precautions to avoid any unwanted surprises.
