Romantic N.Y. 165 Romantic Things to See and Do in New York

This is the second edition of the popular romantic guide to New York City. Marilyn Appleberg's ROMANTIC N.Y. is a simple, clear, yet evocative guide to what makes New York so unique, so magical. In addition to being the definitive guide to what lovers want most -- dazzling views; picnic places; fireside dining; secret gardens, and romantic excursions on water-- the book pays homage to the romantic nature of the city itself. In chapters such as "New York State of Mind," "Romance of the Past," and "Island Hopping," it gives New Yorkers fresh ways to look at and celebrate the city they may be taking for granted. It 's the best of New York in every season, in love or not. That's why ROMANTIC N.Y. is not for lovers only. The more than 165 places featured in the book do not leave New York City's borders, because that is the challenge and the gift-to find the romance of the city and weave it into your everyday existence. Once you begin, you will wonder how all of the enchantment ever eluded you. That's why ROMANTIC N.Y. is most certainly not for Valentine's Day only. It is a Baedeker of bests, a handy reference for all who love this city, and a gentle reminder that there's more to life than take out and a video.
