Want a WOW date? Wait til winter, and go to "Holiday Lights" at the Bronx Zoo. They open the zoo at night during the holiday season and decorate it with fabulous lights and a theme (last year it was Narnia). We went last year after a snow storm and it was beautiful! We rode the carousel, watched tigers and reindeer play in the snow (not together) and went to the petting zoo, reptile house and all that other cool zoo stuff. Sure, it's overrun with kids and has lots of silly holiday tunes blasting over the loud speakers, but it's also crazy romantic and sort of weird. Scored me big points.
