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.
