TripAdvisor recently announced the top 10 places in America to propose, according to travelers and editors, and according to them the single best place in the country to pop the question is New York’s very own Central Park.   According to one TripAdvisor traveler, “I got proposed to right next to the lake in Central Park, near the fountain! It was perfect and I have such happy memories of that days.”  Awwww.

Well besides actually proposing, which is certainly an extreme measure, the celebration of Valentine’s Day offers a great opportunity to take advantage of some of the park’s most romantic locations.  Yes, I know, it’s winter, but what could be more romantic than a spin around Wollman Rink?  Remember the movie Serendipity?  (It was perhaps the most memorable scene in the movie.)   So, to commemorate Central Park’s wonderfully romantic nature we’re taking a poll of your favorite romantic spots around the park.  Let us know what you think.

Things To Do

From The Philharmonic on the Great Lawn to Shakespeare in the Park to SummerStage, Central Park offers an endless array of things to do, see, hear – and, with two full service restaurants and several cafes, taste.  You can visit The Shakespeare Garden, take in a performance at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater, take a ride on the Carousel – or just sit and people watch at Bethesda Terrace!
