  Take a page from a range of city-set scripts for great ideas on how to romantically celebrate your anniversary in the Big Apple. Have breakfast at Tiffany's, meet at the top of the Empire State Building, or stroll through Central Park. Even if you are not Meg Ryan looking for Tom Hanks an ocean away from Seattle, there are plenty of ways to celebrate love in New York City.
  
  

Rent a Limousine

• New York City can be notoriously expensive, but in some areas you can find surprising bargains. For example, if you're landing at the airport and need a ride to the City, consider taking a limo. From JFK Airport, a taxi will set you back about $50, or you can ride in style by hiring a private driver in advance for $75 plus gratuity. As of 2010, stretch limos run between $115 - $125 for the trip into Manhattan. It's a luxury, but there's nothing like cozying up to that special someone with a flute of champagne in hand as you watch the city skyline come into view. Rates vary by company.
  
  

Helicopter Tours

• Reigniting a sense of adventure is a great way to rekindle the old flame on an anniversary. Take a helicopter tour around Manhattan for a shared experience that offers panoramic views. Tour costs vary depending on length of tour and the airline. As of 2010, fifteen minute tours can run $300+ per couple when you add mandatory aviation fees. Tours leave from heliports at downtown piers.
  
  

His and Hers Massages

• Another luxury that sets passions flowing are his-and-her massages. Juvenex at 25 West 32nd Street has a 150 minute package for $395 that includes private soaking rooms and dual hydrotherapy massages, followed by Korean style exfoliation scrubs. Spa NYC details a full range of companies and services to pamper any romance-minded couple.
  
  

Roller Skate in Central Park

• You can opt for the tried and true horse drawn carriage through the park, or strap on some rollerblades and be part of the park. Roller blade rentals are available at many locations in and near the park. Also, consider bringing along a backpack picnic. In addition to hotels that offer brown bag services to their guests, NYC has outfits that specilize in providing fun and fancy pre-made picnic baskets. And, in spite of the millions of visitors who stop at the park each year, with more than 800 acres, it's not difficult to find a getaway spot on which to have a picnic. Keep your lunch or dinner alcohol free, though. In spite of what others may do, alcohol is prohibited in New York City's parks.
