I’ve had some of my most memorable couple’s trips in New York, and if you’re hoping to sweep your special someone off their feet, I can’t recommend these romantic getaways in New York enough. From sparkling city nights to cozy upstate mornings by the fire, you’ll find a perfect match for whatever kind of romance you’re after. Trust me—these places are all about creating moments you won’t forget.
Highlights:
- I once stayed in a luxury Manhattan hotel with floor-to-ceiling skyline views—and waking up next to someone you love with the Empire State Building in the background? You’ll never forget it.
- In the Finger Lakes, I spent a weekend sipping wine and wandering vineyard trails. You’ll love the charming inns, lake views, and intimate tasting rooms along the way.
- Nothing beats cuddling up in a Catskills cabin with a crackling fire. I’ve done it in winter and fall. You’ll feel like the only two people in the world.
- One of my favorite city dates ever? A snowy Central Park carriage ride followed by fine dining nearby. If you go in winter, bundle up, it’s pure magic.
- I’ve wandered the Hudson Valley’s riverside towns, antique shops, and modern art galleries hand-in-hand. It’s the kind of slow-paced escape you’ll both treasure.
