With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, there’s a chance to do something extra special for your sweetheart. While some may opt to shower their special someone with roses and gourmet chocolates, others may want to shake things up and do something out of the ordinary with their better half this holiday such as watching shows like The Cold Blooded Show.
The Whispering Gallery
Not only is this gallery a hidden NYC treasure, but one of the most romantic secret gems that the city has to offer. Located within Grand Central, the secretive walls allow for sounds to travel across the domed ceiling. Therefore, you will be able to hear your partner’s whispers while standing at diagonal arches. After trying this out, make sure to wine and dine your special someone at the famous Oyster Bar & Restaurant in the terminal’s dining concourse.

Secret Gardens of Rockefeller Center
Why gift your better half with a bouquet of flowers this Valentine’s Day when you can bring them to an entire garden instead? The secret gardens of Rockefeller Center offer beautiful greenery and an incredible view of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. This little green gem can be spotted from the Top of the Rock observation deck and is definitely a unique activity to experience with your sweetheart.

Though the mansion is closed for the season, even walking the grounds is an incredible way to step back in time and imagine life as if you and your special someone are part of a Bronte novel.
