Forget Netflix and the couch. Here are 10 fun and interesting activities — from skating and snowshoeing to shopping, dancing to massage, bowling to opera — sure to impress your sweetheart (along with fabulous places to dine afterwards).
Great Date #1: High School Redux
Like your braces, pimples, and locker combination, your days of canoodling with your sweetheart under the gymnasium bleachers as a DJ plays “Stairway to Heaven” might be gone for good — but that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge your inner 10th-grader.

Bowl a few frames at Lucky Strike (there’s a DJ booth and neon lights, unlike the analog lanes of your youth), take a turn on the 60-foot indoor Ferris wheel (two bucks a ride), and get cozy in the dark of the IMAX Theatre (the Steven Spielberg-produced I Am Number Four looks promising) — all at that seminal high school date locale, the mall. (In this case, it’s the Palisades Center in West Nyack — 845-348-1000; www.palisadescenter.com). Just make sure to get home before curfew.
