As we said earlier, don't make extreme plans for your first date; most possibly, you'll go to a cafe or for coffee on your first date. That is why consider one of the following as your option for the first date plans in New York:

The One Hotel's Drinks (At Brooklyn Bridge)

If you want to give one of the most famous skyline experiences in New York to your first date, then the One Hotel at Brooklyn Bridge is the best place for you. This place is a great combination of native greenery, reclaimed material with the urban dining experience. The drinks and food here are amazing; thus, it is great to take your first date. But we suggest you pre-booking if you plan to take your date here. And if your date liked this first date plan, you can take her on a second date at the Bamford Haybarn Spa; this place could help you calm your brain with their holistic classes and treatments.

Cooking Classes at Cozymeal

Taking your date to cooking classes on your first date is a great plan. It is because cooking with someone is a great fun and relaxing activity to know each other.

The perfect date plan here would be having coffee and pastries with your date. And after the date, you can walk around Central Park with your date. We think it would be a very romantic first date plan in New York.

The Raines Law Room's Cocktail Making

The Raine's is located in New York serves really interesting cocktails. Plus, they also teach you how to make these cocktails.

And these cocktails will go perfectly with the delicious dishes of the Light Bites Menu. And along with these amazing drinks and food, you can also enjoy the amazing top night view of the city by sitting in the beautiful 40th-floor garden lounge of the Castell. But if you are planning a date on a winter night, we recommend you make a booking for seats next to the glass hearth of the garden lounge.

Another Rooftop dining at the Fleur Room

The views from this Rooftop dining are not as high as the Castell Rooftop Lounge because it is on the 35th floor of the Fleur Room instead of the 40th-floor of the Castell Rooftop lounge. But you will enjoy the panoramic views of the cityscape here. The menu of the Fleur Room is also good for a night date plan in New York. However, to have a more romantic date, we recommend you have an evening date instead of the night date plan here and enjoy the beautiful sunset over Manhattan.

SPiN for Ping Pong lovers

We said that don't make extreme plans for your first date. And it is very hard to take someone on a Night date for a first date. Therefore you can go a little bit crazy on a night date plan. Thus, if you and your date love playing ping pong (table tennis) and who doesn't like ping pong, we have a perfect place for you. You must consider SPiN as a night date if you and your date like playing table tennis while getting drunk. Surprisingly, the theme of this place is the same. SPiN has an amazing beer menu along with fifteen Olympic-sized table tennis tables. You'll also be surprised by their other snacks and drinks menu.

The amazing food, the culinary experience, and the amazing views are all perfect for a cute date plan in New York. But we suggest you make a pre-booking as you may not get any tables on the spot, especially at Night.

Here are few tips you can follow to ensure you are protected.

Select the right app

Today, there are more social meeting apps than ever before. Besides Instagram and Facebook, there are numerous social apps where people feel safe. Leaf is proudly one of them. Mainly, because Leaf is focused on connecting you to people you already know. Social planning apps are specifically designed for people looking for friendships and meet-ups without any romantic engagement. However, not all apps are treated equally: some are better than others. So, how will you learn the difference between the good ones and bad ones? 

First of all, consider the verification measures of every app. For example, in the Leaf app, we allow people to select the Connect with Facebook or Sign in with Apple ID option to verify who they are. Leaf also requires phone number verification. You should stick to such apps so that only legitimate members get attached and join up. This will increase your chances of making plans with friends and is considerably safer.

Limit personal information

While using a meet-up app to find friends, you are often required to write a few lines about yourself. This data gives others some idea of who you are and what you like/dislike. Now, these sections are best but you don't have to go overboard with this information. Instead, stick to basics like, "I like to read and write", "I love songs" and "I would like to meet people interested in paintings". These tactics are used to start a conversation with someone. 

Avoid mentioning a specific location, like where you work or where you regularly hang out. You have to be careful in the early stage; once you get to know the person, you can disclose other things about you. Also observe the type of questions they are asking. Do they seem personal? Are they asking too much? 

Enhance your research

Don't limit yourself by waiting for the right friend to come. You can find the person on various social planning apps. Before that, you need to make a little effort by checking their background. Don't worry; this doesn't include any drastic steps. Simply put, you can search online using their basic information, like name, age and location. This way, you will get to know whether the person is dangerous or not. 

See if the information they are providing is genuine or not. It would help if you do some digging online and the most popular method for doing that is checking their social media profiles. Social platforms are a goldmine of data; you can see each and every detail you want. Make sure your new friend is a legitimate person and you, too, must be completely transparent about your personal life.

Trust your instincts

Even in this fast-growing digital age, you need to go through this old fashion statement. While you are chatting in a group or making plans with a friend’s app, make it a point to trust. People must know you are genuine. 

The little voice in your head is telling you to do right. For example, if you have been chatting with someone for a while and are still feeling uneasy, there is probably a reason for it. In such a situation, you can discover what's best for you and cut off those who are causing you trouble. 

Meet them in a secure place

It is advised to meet strangers in public places a first and once you trust them, you can continue things further. Set up the meet at a famous restaurant, bar or café. People with good intentions will never object to your suggested place (in reason) and terms. Try to avoid getting in any vehicle with a stranger to an unfamiliar place. Bring your existing friends to new meet-ups organized by social planning apps. 

You can follow these tips to take complete use of social apps and remain safe at the same time. The tactics we have suggested can help you protect yourself.
