A Midsummer Night’s Dream Date
- Pack a romantic picnic basket: Include items that are easy to share, like finger foods, cheeses, fruits, and a small dessert to enjoy after. Don’t forget a cozy blanket to sit on!
- Arrive extra early: Aim to get to Central Park at least an hour before the show, as lines for the free tickets can get long.
- Scenic stroll: After securing your tickets, take a walk through Central Park. Visit iconic spots like Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, or The Pond for some romantic pre-show ambience.
- Embrace the intimacy: Snuggle up on your blanket and share quiet whispers during the enchanting performance.
- Stargazing: As the night deepens, lay back and stargaze with your date. Download a stargazing app for help identifying constellations.
Wherefore Art Thou
- Linger a little: Don’t rush out. Take your time packing up and savor the lingering magic of the evening.
- Late-night stroll: Walk hand-in-hand through the darkened park, lit by lamplight, and share your favorite moments of the performance.
- Sweet nightcap: If you’re not quite ready to end the night, find a cozy bar or cafe for a nightcap and extended conversation.
Bonus Tip: This may sound obvious, but always check the weather forecast before you go and bring a light raincoat or umbrellas just in case!
