New York can be the most romantic place on the planet, not only for a couple in love, but also for a single person! Treat yourself to the opportunity to enjoy this incredible city and discover its new facets. You might like what you find Secret NYC.
1. Spend a day on Roosevelt Island
Start your day with a tram ride down the East River and take in the stunning views from above. Once you get to the island, be sure to take a stroll among the cherry blossom trees along the western promenade. Then head to the Panorama Room for a cocktail and a look at each area separately. Be sure to stay until sunset to see the extraordinary colors of the city!
2. Dine in an exclusive restaurant with virtually no waiting time
It is very difficult to book a table in popular places in the city, especially when you go with a large group. Luckily, when you're eating alone, you're more likely to get a seat. And if you're just getting started with self-dating and you're feeling a little insecure dining alone, bring a book with you. We recommend that you go to these restaurants:
- Balthazar
- Thai diner
- Lilia
- Mission Ceviche
3. Walk through Central Park
There is nothing like your own company to enjoy the great outdoors. Plus, you can walk at any pace that suits you! Wake up your inner child and buy an ice cream cone. Or sit on one of the park benches while people watching.

4. Read a book on the High Line
Reading somewhere on a bench in New York alone, a person is associated with the main character of the movie. So we are all the main characters here. Whether you're into novels or haven't read a single book in five years, give it a try and see what happens! Who knows, maybe it will eventually become a habit for you. And if you get bored with the book, just look at the incredible view that only the High Line can offer.
5. Watch an entertainment show
From Broadway to movies, from live music to amateur evenings at the Apollo, there are so many ways to entertain yourself without entertaining others. Let your undivided attention marvel at New York's many talents. And you don't have to deal with the fact that the company will always interrupt you with comments in the middle of the show!
6. Treat yourself to flowers and coffee at this charming cafe
Remi Flower & Coffee in Midtown East is the cutest place to enjoy hours of plant shop and baked goods. Enjoy floral arrangements by ordering rose matcha latte. Or share your flowers and coffee while sipping an espresso and buying yourself a bouquet. And although they have Wi-Fi, remember that you are on a date! No matter if it's a date with yourself, enjoy New York and a social-free weekend.
Whatever you end up choosing, remember that it's important to pamper yourself from time to time. And while self-dating can be awkward at first, you just have to get into it. And you will definitely love them.
