1. Romance in the Park

   OK so it's a little like a cliche, but I have to say there are few things more romantic than a buggy ride around Central Park with the one you love! It's a great way to finish up a night. As the horse plods on, it's hard to belief that there's one of the world's most vibrant cities just a few yards away. It's a great way to relax and spend quality memory making time with someone special!
   
   

2. Great Park to Check Out

   If you're in Manhattan in New York, NY, you can't miss Central Park. It's a wonderful park to walk through that provides a great contrast to the busy and non-stop life of the New York. They even have a zoo, and in the summer have many fountains running. You definitely won't regret a stroll through this park!
