One of the best ways to spend quality time with your partner in the summer is a long romantic walk, whether you’re long-time loves or meeting for the first time. And what better way to turn an ordinary stroll into an ice cream date than to grab some gelato on the way?

Enjoy your gelato, and get to know each other in the summer sunshine. We’ve put together a few date ideas inspired by the top gelato stores and some fun free spots to visit.

Sweet Strolls in the Big Apple

When you’re in NYC, you’ve got to head to Central Park. There are plenty of areas to sit and enjoy a scoop from our Upper East Side location on 2nd Avenue. We recommend starting there – it’s a short stroll down 79th Street to the park.

On the other hand, if Times Square is more your scene, then that’s the place to start. The beautiful Bryant Park is just five minutes away, so get your ice cream on the way, take a quick walk to the gardens, and watch the sunset with your sweetheart.

Some desserts are just there for the moment. You enjoy them, and that’s that. Others linger a bit, and you find yourself thinking about them later. That’s where Anita Gelato fits in. It started small, in a family kitchen. Mama Anita and her son Nir making frozen treats, figuring things out as they went. People noticed. And then they kept coming back for more. More than 20 years later, that same spirit still shows up in every colorful tray, generous topping, and the first bite that makes you pause for a second.

Every scoop starts ahead of the game at Anita. The gelato is crafted by hand, churned fresh in-store, and offered in a dazzling rotation of over 150 flavors. Then come the toppings, turning each perfect scoop into a celebration. Suddenly, your gelato is not just creamy or cold, but it also crackles, sparkles, and shows off a personality all of its own. 🍦

You know that moment when your gelato arrives and you pause for a second before eating it? Not on purpose, just… it looks too good to eat! The scoop holds its shape well and the ridges are soft but defined, and the color feels almost too clean to be real. Someone at the table says “wait, don’t touch it yet,” and suddenly phones are out. That’s really all this is. Catching that moment before it melts into something else.
