Have to disagree...the view of Manhattan from Jersey is by far the best...but I am biased. ;)
To the OP one of my fav restaurants is The Chart House...it is in NJ opposite the ESB. The view is breathtaking...it was even better before the ****** destroyed the Towers.:curse: http://search.cityguide.aol.com/nort...nt/v-110324935 We have spent many Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve there. Oooooh, I'm going there tomorrow night for dinner! I haven't been there before but it's our friend's birthday and her husband sent us an e-vite via OpenTable.com http://www.opentable.com/rest_profil...&kc=1&ref=1041 I was hoping that it would be Amanda's in Hoboken, which is another beautiful restaurant (albeit without the view!). We've had dinner/lunch there a few times and went to a wedding reception there - it's very romantic but not 'twee': http://www.amandasrestaurant.com (check it out, JG!) |

Haven't read all replies so apologies if this has already been suggested but my hubby proposed to me whilst ice skating on the Wollman Rink in Central Park. Gorgeous.
He then took me to Tiffany's on 5th Ave to choose my ring and then for champers at the Plaza to really round things off! Very memorable and romantic (esp as it was in Jan and was snowing so just added to the atmosphere!). Best of luck! :) :) |

The Chart House is where I got my very first view of New York. Then it burned down in about 2001, but I assume they've rebuilt it again. Good food, awesome view.

We have a Chart House here in Westchester Cty, NY as well. Right on the Hudson River in Dobbs Ferry. Its between the Tappen Zee Bridge and the George Washington with a view of both Manhattan and New Jersey Palisades.

Re: Where tp propose in NYC?
I say Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. It's quite beautiful I highly recommend seeing it. The neighborhood is really nice so I'd make sure to wear your best clothes and finest jewelry.

Aw. That is sooo romantic. Great place to propose at night with the downtown Manhattan skyline. Juswus: definitely do the carriage ride through Central Park...with the stench of rotting horse manure wafting in your face. The horses also may look beautiful but they live in foul conditions and aren't treated that great. Not romantic if you knew the truth. Empire State Building? You and 60 million people a year all doing the same thing. Sir Denis Eaten-Hogg: Will you marry me? That's the most romantic proposal EVER. Andoman: Bedstuy? She'd better bring handgun too then and a mobile phone to call the cops when hubby get's stabbed to death after taking out the ring out of his pocket. |

that makes me feel crap..*sigh* Slightly O/T; I recently went to meet my husband at his office in Times Square, so waited downstairs in the reception area by the glass windows. Suddenly a NYP cop was on his horse, cantering down Broadway! It seemed surreal. Poor horse. :frown: |

True. And quite a number of the poor horses are killed each year in car accidents. :(
