Bridge of sighs: Brooklyn's most romantic vista.

Dinner at Grimaldi's, the brick oven pizzeria under the Brooklyn Bridge, is always a sure-bet, whether it's your first date or your twenty-first. Since this famous joint attracts crowds, expect a wait. Meanwhile, take a walk along the pier to work up an appetite for Grimaldi's classic thin-crust pizzas with perfectly balanced sauce and fresh mozzarella
• Grimaldi's, 19 Old Fulton St., Brooklyn, 718-858-4300.

As dusk sets in, camp out on the grassy knoll at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park. This recently restored waterfront gem offers stunning skyline views and, in summer, a popular outdoor movie series.
• Thursday night movies, July 11-August 1; 718-802-0603.

No date is complete without a tasty sweet treat. Head over to the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, serving a streamlined assortment of creamy, homemade flavors in a 1920s fireboat house on the waterfront.

Feel like walking off dessert? Just look up — the Brooklyn Bridge awaits. There's good reason why a walk across the bridge makes the short list for most romantic New York scenes.

Once you're on the other end, unleash each other's inner star at Chinatown karaoke dive Winnie's. A few of their lethal cocktails should dispel any lingering shyness — and put you in the mood to belt out "Purple Rain" or "Endless Love." .
