Great Date Ideas at Hudson Yards

For a First Date 

Ask all your get-to-know-you questions over coffee at Jack’s Stir Brew or Queensyard, or over seasonal-inspired craft cocktails at ANA Bar and Bakery. If you like what you hear, keep things going with a walk through The Shops, before topping things off with a cup or cone at Van Leeuwen’s or a handful of sweets at Dylan's Candy Bar.  If the good vibes continue, head toward Bronx Brewery for seasonal brews on tap.

For a Day Date 

A stroll through the park is lovely, but scaling the crown of a skyscraper? Now, that’s something that leaves an impression. At City Climb, the highest open-air building ascent in the world, you can hold hands 1,200 feet above the ground. For a more earthbound activity, grab two bikes and pedal over to the riding path at Hudson River Park. Either way, you’ll have worked up an appetite (or at least a thirst) by the time you’re through, and a leisurely brunch at Queensyard or a cocktail at O’Toole’s Way.

For a Double Date 

Take the group for a walk along the High Line to the High Line Nine galleries. After perusing amazing works of art, you’ll have plenty to talk about as you partake over sangria and Spanish dishes at Mercado Little Spain. But your culture tour doesn’t end there. The Shed is just steps away to see the latest In artistic programming. Before calling it a night, you can dig into some more light fare: temaki sets at Kamasu or drinks by the fireplace at Spygold.

For a Romantic Dinner Date 

Which menu from a world renowned chef do you want to impress your date with tonight? Chef Costas Spiliadis offers the finest seafood dishes in the world at Estiatorio Milos. José Andrés serves the best of Spain at Leña an Mercado Little Spain. Last but not least, award-winning Chef Dan Kluger showcases greenmarket-driven sophistication with bold, unexpected flavors at Greywind.

For the Most Important Date Night 

The most important occasions—a birthday, anniversary or, the biggest of all, a proposal — calls for something extra special. A visit to Edge fits that bill. The selfie you’ll take as you lean high in the sky over the city lights below will certainly commemorate the moment. Then, sit down to a one-of-a-kind meal against a backdrop of soaring views at Peak. And because you will not want the night to end, head down for an aperitif at Quin Bar. The cozy lounge will provide the perfect punctuation to your unforgettable memory.
