There’s no lack of romantic getaways in America. As much as romance travels abroad, the abundance of romantic getaways at home makes for insatiable nightly wanderlust when return and each visit to the USA prove anew to be an unmitigated success. The sheer size of the American heartland alone is reason enough to take a trip across the border and relax by the pool side or get lost in a hotel by the lakeside. If you don’t mind spending a little, why not plan a weekend getaway in a quaint inn by the river?
But the best way to escape from the grind of everyday life and the worries of the world would be to take a road trip in the USA, especially to one of the many romantic destinations in the New York area. New York has been called the “town that never sleeps” and for good reason: it’s filled with exciting nightlife, fine restaurants and exciting museums. Add in a few days spent enjoying the best of this great city and you’ve taken yourself on a truly romantic getaway.
One such place that you should consider visiting on your trip to New York City is the busy New York Central Park. The massive park has more than just a wide expanse of greenery; there are also many places of historic interest for those who dare to tread the path of romance. Among the best-known sites in the park is the Prospect Park Houses, an old nineteenth century row house that offers an intimate window into New York’s social and cultural history as well as many private outdoor gardens. A stroll hand-in-hand along the Lake sideline or a stop at one of the park’s many restaurants will surely spoil you for choice, especially if you opted for that New York vacation via a road trip!
