Incredibly Unique First Date Ideas From Here in New York State

First dates can be tricky.  Finding things to do that are exciting and entertaining can be tough.  Lucky for us, one of the most unique opportunities is here in New York.

Planning a first date is tough!

Have you tried to plan a first date?  It can be panic inducing.  You want to find something that's entertaining for both of you, but not too serious.  You want an opportunity to actually talk to the other person so you can get to know them.  Are you looking for an adventure?  Or would you be fine with just an experience?  Should it be overtly romantic or just something fun that you get to do together.  There are so many questions.

So what do you do?

You don't have to travel out of state for a unique first date idea

Unique first date ideas in New York

The list came up with some incredible ideas from wine tasting in the finger lakes to a date night at The Met.  But the one that came in the earliest on the list was a unique pizza tour.  It's a tour that gives you the chance to "Explore hidden pizzerias in different neighborhoods, sample diverse styles, and satisfy your cravings with authentic New York pies."

Unless you live there, I'm not sure that a trip to New York City is a great first date idea, but it would be an incredible idea for a bigger trip.  Maybe that one should be saved for a couple who is getting ready to celebrate an anniversary.  But at least it's a unique idea.
