You’re about to take your dating game to new heights – literally. Prepare for a vertigo-inducing yet romantically intoxicating escapade that will have your heart soaring to the clouds and your taste buds diving into a foamy sea of sudsy delights.
Raising the Bar(ley)
- History Buffs: If you choose a historic observation deck, pick a pub with a similar old-school vibe. Think classic wooden bars, vintage beer signs.
- Modern Marvels: Sleek, high-rise views? Seek out a modern gastropub with equally sophisticated drinks.
- I was In The Neighborhood: If your view overlooks a specific neighborhood (Chinatown, Little Italy, etc.), make the pub crawl reflect that same theme with your food and drink choices!
Skyline Sweethearts
- Tourist Mode: Go full-on tourist with it! Take cheesy photos of each other pointing at landmarks, buy a tacky souvenir, and revel in the silliness.
- A Closer Look: Some observation decks have these, but most will allow you to bring your own. Use them for a closer look and playful “spying” on the bustling city below.
- Sketch the Skyline: Bring a mini sketchbook and pencils. Try to capture the outline of the cityscape from your unique vantage point.
Top of the Hops
- Flight Challenge: Order flights of smaller beer samples at each spot, encouraging you to sample a wide variety.
- Judge’s Scorecard: Create a playful rating system for your beers AND for the pub atmosphere. Crown a winner at the end.
- Local Lore: Ask bartenders for stories about their establishment. Many pubs have long histories and neighborhood secrets they might share. Encounter a surly bartender? Well, now you have a story!
