Not every date needs to be bells and whistles, even when you live in a city like New York. Sometimes it’s better to spend casual time with the one you care about, just hanging out, having fun and getting to know each other better. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to do this and most of them are pretty cheap. Try hitting up a swimming spot and enjoying the sun together. From Astoria Pool in Queens to the John Jay Pool, there are plenty of places to get wet. Or head to one of New York’s many bowling alleys and enjoy some drinks and ball-tossing. Brooklyn Bowl is probably the best of these, but Bowlmor Lanes is great as well. And if roller skating is your thing, head to the Crazy Leg Skate Club, the last rink in the entire city.
