Where to go: The Met Roof Garden and Martini Bar\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So you and your date’s mutual friends, who miraculously seem to have settled down with lovely significant others, had brunch together last Sunday and decided upon your future spouse. While this arrangement isn’t the ‘eyes meeting across a room’ scenario, it is an encounter you feel you shouldn’t turn down. You feel obliged. And hey, they’re doing something in your best interests, probably.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Roof Garden and Martini Bar at The Met is your version of the\u00a0eyes across the room moment. Overlooking Central Park and… a Martini Bar, the venue is set for your first date. With mouthwatering\u00a0food and delicious cocktails, what could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Top tip:<\/strong> If you don’t have eyes for your date, have eyes for the beautiful scenery surrounding you while you sip away at your\u00a0Corpse Reviver\u00a0<\/em>cocktail.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Second Date<\/strong><\/p>\n Where to go: Brooklyn Art Library – The Sketchbook Project<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So the first date went well, and you are keen not to get your mutual friends involved just yet, lest they ruin the whole experience for you. The second date is tricky – you must keep them interested. This date is one that will subconsciously test you both, on levels you will only think about while you text your friends on the subway\u00a0home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘A library?!’ you say. Correct, but not just any library. This library is a wealth of creativity. Working with The Sketchbook Project, the library has collected a vast array of sketchbooks by hundreds of international artists. Each sketchbook is barcoded and individually searchable by different terms: the artist, the location made, a specific topic or even the materials used. Snuggle up in the library’s beautiful surroundings and discuss in detail the use of your favourite vegetable\u00a0found in sketchbooks across Delaware.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Top tip:<\/strong> Don’t search for ‘art’.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Third Date\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Where to go: The Museum of Sex<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Things are going pretty well; maybe you have had some flirty forward and back texting with your date, and now you’re wondering what lies beneath. Well hold on there,\u00a0this is 2016.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don’t get any funny ideas – this museum is a thrilling multi-sensory experience. Again, no funny business. The archives\u00a0are an incredible and vast argument for how far we have come with owning our unique sexualities – we really don’t live in a\u00a0‘3rd date rule’ world anymore – and the exciting exhibitions vary in shape and size, from one fascinating subject to another.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Top tip:<\/strong> Know your audience. If this experience is too-much-too-soon, pop down to the museum shop where they have a lovely selection of scented candles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.ventureholidays.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Met-Rooftop.jpg\")
