Date Night Ideas NYC
Best date ideas in NYC near you
Think you’ve checked all the boxes when it comes to fun activities in NYC? Think again, because there are endless possibilities in the city, especially when it comes to hands-on experiences. Adventurous couples can find art classes for adults that will help them bond and have a great time. Try a couples’ painting date night and get to know each other in a whole new way. A local artist will show you how to use UV paint and your partner as a canvas. It’s an out-of-the-ordinary night out that will spark your imagination and some interesting conversation.
If you want to try a creative outing, an art walk in NYC or a photography class around the city’s most famous sites can be a new way to explore. You’ll do what New Yorkers do best - cover lots of ground on foot - while looking at the scenery through an artistic lens. A professional artist or photographer will lead your class and answer all your questions as you go.
If you are looking for seasonal date ideas, try a Halloween-themed terrarium class and bring nature indoors to your living space. Or take a wreath making workshop for the holidays and bring home Christmas decor to get you in the festive spirit. We offer all kinds of creative ways to celebrate the season with your loved one.
Fun date night ideas NYC
If you crave an alternative to a night out besides dinner at a restaurant, why not try a cooking class instead? It’s a great way to learn new skills that will pay off in the long run. Not only will you be able to create new recipes and your own spin on favorite dishes, but you’ll also be able to save money by avoiding takeout meals. The best part is cooking a meal together or letting your partner relax while you take care of dinner. It's a thoughtful surprise to come home from work with a favorite dish ready to go!
Maybe you have a big anniversary coming up or another milestone you want to celebrate. Taking a mixology class with your partner is a fun and creative night out. You’ll learn professional techniques from a local bartender. Have a blast honing your skills while serving up delicious cocktails for each other.
Sometimes the hardest idea to come up with are possibilities for first dates. You want to make an impression meaningfully, and a creative experience is a good way to do that. If your date is the crafty type, make macrame plant holders or take a screen printing class and come away with a custom tote or t-shirt. Or try a unique art class like a fluid art class in Queens or a sneaker customizing class in Staten Island. These classes will impress your date and you'll have something cool to take home after your workshop is done.
Unique and memorable date ideas in NYC
You can find the best places to take your date in your own backyard. If you live in Brooklyn, you can join a street art walk and take your significant other on a fun and informative stroll while exploring public art in Bushwick.
Need something to do in Queens? How about trying a tufting class and try into one of the hottest trending crafts on social media? You’ll learn how to make a rug or decorative hanging using a tufting gun and your own design ideas. Not only will you learn a new craft but you’ll have a cool souvenir of your date.
Making ceramics is a fascinating process and you can take pottery classes for couples together to learn new skills like hand building or wheel throwing. Another way to appreciate this craft is by learning the Japanese art of kintsugi. Your teacher will show you how to repair broken pottery with gold to create a whole new piece. These classes will create lasting memories and help you bond as a couple.
If you’d rather relaxing date ideas, get cozy with an online candle-making class. You’ll get your supplies in a DIY kit, including natural wax, custom fragrances, and a glass jar to pour your candles. Your instructor has plenty of experience leading a virtual workshop and you won’t have any problem following instructions. You’ll love having delicious - and maybe even romantic? - scented candles to burn and set the mood for the rest of your night!
