The HighLine

It’s literally a park built on a rail line elevated over the streets of Manhattan. You walk from beginning to end, end to beginning, or even start in the middle. And, if things are going well, there are various places on the High Line to grab a refreshment or you can post up at a bar near one of the staircases. Photo courtesy of cristinabe (Flickr)

Ft. Tryon Park

And, you can have a whole day of experiences without having to get back on the subway. Check out the Cloisters, have a glass of wine and some food at the restaurant, and wander through the gardens. There is even a Medieval Festival in the fall. Photo courtesy of Charley Lhasa (Flickr)

 

Evening Cruise on the Hudson

Butchering Class (yep, really…)

meatHow do you woo your date with some adventure in a place like New York City? Why, a pig butchering class of course. You’ll talk meat as you learn how to slice and dice into some uncommon cuts. And, of course you’ll get to taste a little something too. In the end you’ll only have to answer one question: where do we get a pig? Photo courtesy of Carl Tashian (Flickr)
