{Summertime Dating in NYC}

Friday, June 4th, 2010

New York City is a great place to be when you’re on the dating scene.  And nothing compares to summertime dating in NYC.  The ladies are wearing less and strutting their sexy.  The men take notice and are eager to mix and mingle.  It is 90 degrees in NYC today.  High temperatures usually mean that singles are looking for something to get into.  If I could I would provide an exhaustive list of summertime dating activities, but I would have to charge for that. So on this Single Ladies Friday, I am sharing my five-faves in no particular order.  Enjoy your summer fun!

Bike tour through Central Park – This time a year you can have a blast just walking through Central Park but why not try a bike ride?  Add a cute, playful and possibly romantic twist to your adventure by renting a tandem bike.  Check out this site: http://www.bikerentalcentralpark.com/

Food Festivals and Street fairs – Anytime there is a food festival I try to be there.  NYC is the best place to experience varied ethnic foods for less than 20 bucks.  Take a date along and dance in the streets if you feel like it.  Checkout this site for street fair listings:   http://www.newyorkled.com/nyc_events_Street_Fairs.htm

Coney Island – What is better than a boardwalk, the beach, an amusement park, bumper cars, hot dogs and cotton candy on a summertime date?  For all that and more go to Coney Island.

NYC Hotel Rooftops – For an ultra sexy date night meet for a drink at a NYC hotel rooftop.  If Hotel Gansevoort, the Soho Club rooftop and The Gramercy Park Hotel rooftops are just too snooty for you (they do snooty very well) extend the date with a cooling ferry ride over to Hoboken, NJ and check out the W Hotel – best views of NYC are in Jersey!

Movies under the Brooklyn Bridge – Talk about amazing views!  Take a blanket, a brown bag dinner and your Boo to Brooklyn and catch a flick under the Brooklyn Bridge.  http://www.brooklynbridgepark.org/go/programs-/-events/movies-with-a-view

If you have more ideas make sure to share.  Whatever you do, get out and have some summertime dating fun!

I always have a hard time using the industry acronym “STD” for Save the Date!  Sounds odd hunh? I definitely had to pause when I heard people say ” I got my STD!”  Well, now at Petite-Fete we have lovely photo Save the Date cards to announce your upcoming nuptuals.  They are great fun and super creative and start at around $205 for a set of 100 cards!  With over 50 customizable designs in stock these are just a mere sampling!  Stop by the studio, email or call in for more information.

So … the weddings over, the dress has been dry cleaned, neatly folded and tightly air boxed – now what?  I guess some of us have dreams of our daughter pulling it out of it’s box, holding it up to her bodice, whirling around the room, and exclaiming this is her perfect dress (HA!)  Well I guess that may happen … however for those of us with realistic expectations in comes Once Wed.  Once Wed is a  designer wedding dress resellers store if you will.  The listing is totally free and you can submit photos and a description of the wedding dress in return for cold hard cash upon its sale.   On the flip side, if your a newly engaged bride you can peruse the pre-owned dresses to find the possible dress of your dreams at a fraction of the cost! Once Wed also offers the cutest DIY wedding ideas to borrow or steal.  I know my dress is collecting cobwebs somewhere in my mother’s attic …..

Introducing Aussie’s answer to New York’s Amy AtlasScissors.Paper.Cake.    Just how cute are these cupcakes – way too cute to eat!   This is a melange of two fab women of course – one custom invitations designer see Imprintables,  the other a party styler and cupcake baker see Hello Naomi.  The whimsy here is totally over the top and I just love to see a theme carried out to o-b-s-e-s-s-i-v-e perfection.    I see how they are doing things down under and I am totally feeling their vibe.  For more super cute party styling ideas from this dynamic duo see imprintablesblog.
