As a local i can say that something romantic is to go up the Empire State Building.

Its so nice up their and the view is awesome (duh!)

Although with the rain and whether - it might not be a great idea - especially if there are signs that say 0 - little visibility. If you do go, sweatshirts and hoods - even if its warm - its windy up there.

A show, of course.

Many different cultural restaurants if your into that.

What are your interests? NYC caters to them all!

If you're looking for a lower-key romantic dinner, I'd go with:

Malatesta Trattoria on Christopher St- at night, lit by candles, it truly feels as though you're in Florence (and I've lived in Florence). It's the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy, and the tiramisu is phenomenal. It's also REALLY reasonably priced.

Tartine on W. 4th at W. 11th- tiny little French bistro with delicious homestyle country-French dishes. It's also BYOB so you can bring your favourite bottle of wine. Amazing pastries.

These places are both in the heart of the West Village, which in itself is the most romantic part of the city in my opinion.

The Frick is a great idea. You might try the Cloisters as well. If you like Chinese food, dim sum is always fun (though I can't recommend anywhere specific). And don't forget just walking around and looking at stuff. I'm probably just a country mouse who is overawed by the density of things, but I think it's always enjoyable and often surprising just to explore (and I guess I don't look like a hick because people always ask me for directions).

Have a happy and romantic time!

i agree 100% with nycdncr...mariott restaurant and the bridge are amazing!!

I'd also say a nice picnic in central park is uniquely new york. and very romatic if done correctly.

Sitting on the pier at night can be nice, too.
