Instead, we have creative takes on things to do as a couple at various stages of dating, whether you need a fun date idea in Arlington for a first or hundredth date.

What completely shocked us about the Corning Museum of Glass and gift shop was that we could have spent HOURS there. We were enamored. It's truly the coolest museum in Western New York. Dan and I have a two-hour max at most museums until we get antsy and start to think about where we're going next. We love art immensely but can only look at it for so long inside the confines of a building before we need fresh air and a change of scenery. But this museum is really in a class all its own.

The Finger Lakes region is great place to visit and a lovely drive from New York City.
