The time has come....Proposal ideas?

The time has come. I want to do something special for the proposal, but not sure what.

We live in NYC. She's always wanted to go on the helicopter ride of the city, but their cheapest tour does south of the harbor & up Hudson, something we're sick of from sailing. Other ones are too expensive ($160-180pp).

I know there are tons to do in the city, but I just can't think what. There must be plenty of special activities.

Can you help me? Please put aside troll responses. Thanks!
 
So are going to offer to take care of the love of your life.

You already sprung for a rock.

Yet you can not scrape up a copter ride? 😕

Hire a small banner plane to fly over a park where the two of you are having a picnic. I am sure that there are plenty in the NYC area.

I think you can figure out what the banner should state.
 
I'm thinking Broadway show. See if you can arrange something with the show's producers where between acts you can get up on stage and do a little interlude wherein which you propose.

That would be kind of epic.

Good idea, but she's seen most of NYC broadway shows (big ones anyway). Hmm... but will keep it in mind for smaller shows.

Or see if you can head down to 30 Rock and get on national TV to pop the question. Slightly less personal and less creative that way though.
 
Do the helicopter ride. I flew my wife from Las Vegas to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to propose to her. It was an amazing experience that we'll never forget. I promise you if you go out of your way to propose to her, it will be something she'll never forget it.
 
Just don't do any of those sitcom ideas of hiding the ring in a glass of champagne, piece of cake, etc. -- go for the traditional ring-in-a-little-box presentation instead.

And (hopefully) congratulations!
 
IIRC, you have a dog (corgi), right?

Strap the ring to the dog, have her call it from another room. Silly and cheesy, but she might think it's cute, who knows.
 
helicopter ride that drops you off in a park -> have picnic ready -> have a small banner fly over with her name and the question -> when she looks back at you, pop the ring
 
I think whatever is special in your shared history is a better option than a over-the-top, cliche proposal that some here might suggest (and the "classic" movie stuff actually sucks - like the romantic carriage ride at central park is just smelling poop while burdening a poor city horse, and a chopper ride is just noisy as hell).

You two don't have any special place in the city that you both love?

Hmm... the only memories of NYC are mostly just getting hammered in K-town or Japantown...

We both like going to Governor's Island, but seems bit too plain. Not that special.

If we weren't so busy, we would go travel to Zion NP/Bryce Canyon/Sedona and propose.. THAT is a special place when we both starting dating and had crazy fun travleling.

Man that'd be fucking perfect.

Central Park is cliche. The Highline? Nah. Maybe the Seaport area? (We lived there)
 
Go on a nice vacation and do it there


If you want to do this soon then how about going to Viex Montreal or Europe?
