With Valentine’s coming up, this is the chance to treat you and your partner to a day full of romantic experiences, sweet chocolate, and special dinners. Situated in the heart of Brooklyn’s creative hub, our lodge is the perfect place to wake up to warm, cozy bedding and a full breakfast buffet to start your morning.

Take it easy and explore the neighborhood
Hop on a ferry to Governor’s Island and explore a different side of Brooklyn together. This escape from the city buzz gives you a little more quiet time for you and your partner to enjoy each other’s company. Take a moment to enjoy the views of the water and the Statue of Liberty in the distance.
To continue the day with more beautiful sights, head to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and walk through vibrant flowers and foliage. The garden is like a whole other world compared to the chilly February season, with its collection of gardens and conservatories. Visit the most visited Japanese-inspired garden in the state or stimulate your senses at the fragrance garden, where you're encouraged to stop and smell everything around you! The number of things to see and do here makes this a perfect romantic spot to spend an afternoon.
For something more hands-on, try a class for chocolate making or wine tasting. It’s the perfect way to craft something together to bring home. View more classes and tours here.
Once the sun begins to set, stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge. There’s something magical about watching the sun set below the horizon of the East River. With the Manhattan skyline bathed in orange hues while the water reflections sparkle, it’s the kind of moment that you’ll look back on with your partner in fondness.
Wine, jazz, and good food
For an intimate night out, head to a jazz bar like Bar Bayeux and indulge in sultry sounds and good wine. The atmosphere of the bar paired with smooth jazz will make for an unforgettable date night out in Brooklyn.
If your stomach still has room for more, treat you and your partner to locally loved favorites like Bar Mario for delicious Italian cuisine that won’t disappoint. For a unique caviar experience paired with tasty American fare, Pearl’s Dive is sure to leave an impression. Order a glass of sparkling wine and make a toast to romance.
