the city of love
Last weekend we finally got a break from the cold and had a beautiful 55 degree Sunday, so we decided we needed to take advantage of the warmth and take a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Walking across the bridge is hands down our favorite thing to do in the city, there's just something about the amazing structure of the bridge and being able to see the beautiful skyline of the city that just makes you love it.
As we were walking across the bridge and soaking up the sun a woman stopped and asked us if she could interview us for a Valentine's Day special their radio show was hosting on how NY is the city of love. She asked us questions about where we live in the city, our favorite parts of the city and if we considered NY to be the city of love. Of course we agreed and then I proceeded to tell her how much I loved everything about NYC. Jason didn't think it was very manly to express his love for the city so he let me do the talking and chimed in occasionally.
I have always thought of New York as a romantic city, I know others say Paris is the city of love, but I've never been there so for now I'm saying its NY. No matter what part of the city you are walking in, there is always something romantic to be found. After her questions it got me thinking about all the romantic spots I love in the city, and because it is Valentine's, I thought I would make a list of some of the spots I love.
- Brooklyn Bridge
- Southstreet Seaport - Pier 17
- Washington Square Park (when it's not under construction)
- Central Park in the fall and Spring
- Riding the Staten Island ferry past the Statue of Liberty at night
- The World Financial Center promenade at night
- Walking up 5th Avenue when the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom
- Canoeing in the Hudson
- Our favorite little park on the corner of Bleeker and 6th Ave.
- Riding our bikes to the Christopher Sreet pier
- Walking around the city to see the lights at Christmas
- Canoeing in Central Park
- Picnics near the Belvedere Castle in Central Park
- Walking up the tree lined streets in the West Village
- Sitting outside at some of our favorite restaurants on a cool summer night
Of course, none of this would be romantic if I didn't have Jason here with me and it's because of him that I get to live in this amazing city, so thank you babe - I love you!
What are your favorite romantic spots in the city?

You're cute, I love how romantic you are! Your list is perfect too!
SO FUN! It was so good to see you Sheena!! I miss you guys so much.. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of my favorites as well.
You are so cute! I'd love to hear that radio clip!
I think one of the most romantic spots is the boardwalk down the East River. I looooved going for runs, walks, and roller blading down it with Christopher. We did it almost every weekend and it never got old, especially in the springtime!
Happy Valentines Day!
I think Fort Tryon Park and the Cloistures when the heather is in bloom is quite romantic. I also love watching the sunset behind the Statue of Liberty from Wagner Park.
