New York City romantic places

Above about romantic places in New York City.

Who better than a luxury French hotel to serve as the experts on romance for Valentine's Day? For this reason, the Sofitel New York enlisted its French concierge to get his seal of approval for the Ten Most Romantic Places in New York:

The Poet's Walk at Central Park – Experience Central Park hand in hand along this idyllic tree-lined stretch of benches and broad walkway. The Roosevelt Island Tram – Couples soar high above the East River. Lincoln Center – When the lights go out, enjoy a kiss before the curtain rises and the magical sounds of the New York Philharmonic fill the air. Rockefeller Center – Ice skate across the world's most famous rink arm in arm with your valentine. Brooklyn Botanic Gardens – The "harmonious asymmetry" of the city's only Japanese Hill and Pond Garden has the perfect feel for that special romantic moment. The Staten Island Ferry – Free to passengers, it's surely the most affordable sea-going embrace. Stroll Across the Brooklyn Bridge – Experience together one of the best views of the famous Manhattan skyline. New Hayden Planetarium in the Rose Center – A great new romantic venue under the stars of the newly built planetarium. Empire State Building – Just like in the movies, meet your loved one on the 86th floor observatory and create your own "Hollywood" moment to remember. The Suites at Sofitel New York – Features romantic vistas of the Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. Inspired by a melange of French style and American spirit, the hotel caters to upscale travelers who seek a classic yet contemporary home away from home.
