Brooklyn Date Ideas: Moments Made For Two

In Brooklyn, romance is a feeling woven into the city itself—a stroll through cobblestone streets at dusk, the soft glow of candlelight over a date night in DUMBO, and the joy of getting lost together in a neighborhood alive with culture. At the heart of it all, The Tillary Hotel offers couples a retreat where sophistication meets warmth, perfectly situated to immerse you in the magic of the borough while giving you a stylish haven to call your own. 

With our Romance at The Tillary package, your romantic getaway in Brooklyn is thoughtfully enhanced: a chic room awaits, alongside a bottle of prosecco to share, a decadent sweet treat, and the indulgence of a late check-out. Together, it’s a celebration of connection, wrapped in Brooklyn’s undeniable charm.

Start your morning together at The Tillary Café, where freshly brewed coffee, flaky pastries, and light, locally inspired fare ease you into Brooklyn’s rhythm. As the day unfolds, immerse yourself in the borough’s energy, knowing you’ll have the perfect place to unwind when you return. In the evening, head to our rooftop Garden Bar, where the twinkle of city lights and the hum of the neighborhood create an atmosphere made for intimate moments.

Romantic Things To Do in Brooklyn 

Outside of The Tillary’s doors, Brooklyn invites you to discover its unique allure. Whether it’s your first time exploring or you’re already familiar with the borough, there are endless date night ideas and opportunities to create memories: 

DUMBO’s Hidden Gems

Venture along quaint streets lined with boutique shops and local cafés. Begin your day at Devoción, known for its stunningly fresh coffee, roasted on-site. Pair it with a buttery pastry from Butler Bake Shop before sauntering over to the Brooklyn Flea to uncover vintage finds that tell their own love stories. 

Natural Beauty

Step into the oasis of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a haven filled with vibrant blooms and tranquil paths. Wander the winding walkways of the Cherry Esplanade, where the trees arch overhead to form a canopy of color, or visit the peaceful Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, complete with koi ponds and stone bridges. It’s a quiet retreat where nature sets the scene for shared moments of wonder.

Brooklyn Waterfront Walks

Wander hand in hand through Brooklyn Bridge Park while the sun dips below the Manhattan skyline. Along the way, pause at Pebble Beach for a moment of stillness as the city fades into twilight.

Tables for Two

When the sun sets, treat yourselves to a meal at one of Brooklyn’s most romantic restaurants. In DUMBO, reserve a table at Bar 56, where the intimate ambiance and New American menu create an evening that feels as artful as the neighborhood itself. For a dreamy dinner further afield, head to Williamsburg’s Antidote, a sleek and inviting restaurant serving globally inspired dishes with bold, creative flavors. After dinner, make your way back toward the hotel and stop by Vine BK for a nightcap in a chic setting.

NYC Restaurant Week® & NYC Broadway Week®

If your visit falls between January 21 and February 9, don’t miss the chance to savor NYC Restaurant Week, a culinary celebration offering prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus. Explore a diverse array of eateries across Brooklyn and beyond, from the neighborhood’s best-kept secrets to some of the City’s most renowned dining destinations. It’s the ultimate opportunity to sample the flavors that have made New York’s dining scene iconic. And while you’re in town, make sure to take advantage of Broadway Week!
