Best healthy date spots in NYC

Try A Sur La Table Cooking Class
Couples who cook together, stay together! Cooking and exploring different cuisines is an exciting way to step outside of the box and learn something new together. Sur La Table offers unique cooking classes that you can sign up for in advance.  If Sur La Table is too pricey, you can search local cooking classes on Course Horse as well.

Walk The High Line
Who doesn’t love the High Line? With the best nighttime view of the city, this is date-night must. Enjoy dinner at a healthy restaurant or rooftop in the Meatpacking district, and follow up with a romantic walk on the historic High Line as you watch the sunset.

Visit The Union Square Farmer’s Market
Over 30 vendors, live music, and amazing fresh produce await you at the Union Square Farmer’s Market. Every Saturday from 9AM-1PM, you can shop this beautiful market together, and bring the food home to cook a delicious dinner for just the two of you.

Get Touristy
Who says New Yorkers can’t play tourist once in a while? There are often countless interesting tourist spots that we simply pass by each and every day. Take a day trip to the Bronx Zoo, stop by the Guggenheim Museum, or even take a stroll through Central Park. Pack a small picnic, and enjoy it at The Cloisters. Exploring all that the city has to offer can make for a romantic date between the two of you.

Take A SoulCycle Class
Going to a fitness class for a date is a great way to work up a sweat and spend some time together. SoulCycle caters to both men and women, and is one of the trendiest ways to stay active. First timers get free shoes for the ride, and a discounted class at some locations. Grab a juice after-class at a local juice bar and cool down.

Lunch By The Waterfall at Greenacre Park
There are some beautiful hidden waterfalls around the city. The waterfall located in Midtown is a perfect spot to enjoy a healthy lunch with your love. Order a salad from one of these trendy salad spots, and walk over to the waterfall for a picture-perfect lunch.

Go Rock Climbing
Feeling adventurous? Places like Steep Rock Bouldering have fun rock climbing walls open late during the week. Meet each other after work, and have fun on this active and spontaneous date!
