TRAVEL: Four Romantic Northeast Attractions



Four Romantic Northeast Attractions

By Jorge Jefferds February 11, 2015 

The Northeast has been plagued with scary winter storms in the last weeks. The region, however, doesn’t surrender and is always ready, especially this Valentine’s Day. Even though, some of these attractions are partially opened to the public due to the season, they still offer amazing special programs for lovers, and singles looking for their other half.


Currently, one of the most signature experiences in New England is celebrating its second half century. Records show that more than four million visitors get inspired with this amazing historical landmark a year. Such authentic experience of history, which is provided by both the walk and the sites of the Trail, is a vital part of Boston’s growing tourist economy and educational outreach.
The Freedom Trail Foundation offers some of the most popular and acclaimed historical tours in all of New England. Walk into History along the famous red line with 18th-century costumed guides. Hear the tales of the brave Bostonian and colonialists who dared to challenge Britain and helped establish the United States of America. These 90 minute tours are designed for individuals, groups, corporate team building, and schools.

Hersheypark (known as Hershey Park until 1970) is a family theme park situated in Derry Township, Pennsylvania, about 15 miles (24 km) east of Harrisburg, and 95 miles (153 km) west of Philadelphia. Milton S. Hershey founded the leisure park in 1906 for the employees of the Hershey Chocolate Company.
Come with plenty of time, because the fun is endless. There are 12 thrilling roller coasters, over 65 rides and attractions including up to 20 kiddie rides. So everyone will encounter something to enjoy.

Welcome to Rockefeller Center, and Manhattan in the clouds. With Top of the Rock, you’d better take your time to enjoy a dramatic view of New York City. Day or night, three floors of indoor and outdoor decks offer stunning panoramas of the city’s energy, wonder, and beauty.
Radiance Wall, Created by Swarovski, is the first of its kind, a breathtaking wall of glass panels, mouth-blown glass, crystal clusters, and fiber-optic lighting. Look closely—is something looking back at you?
Step into a room with a mind of its own. You’ll be assigned a color, and lights of that color will follow your every move. It’s great fun for young and old alike.
On the 67th floor, relax in comfortable seating and enjoy views in any weather through the floor-to-ceiling windows. You'll find a Gift Shop here as well as on the 69th floor.
Use the binoculars to explore the unobstructed views through glass panels on the 67th and 69th floors and in the open air on the 70th floor. On all three levels, you can have your picture taken by a Kodak pro.

Located in Hartford, Connecticut, the writer’s legacy keeps doors open to visitors all year round.  Their home measures 11‚500 square feet‚ and has 25 rooms distributed through three floors. It displayed the latest in modern innovations when it was built in 1874. It was lit by gaslight; it had seven bathrooms with hot and cold running water and flush toilets – and at least one bathroom had a shower. Rudimentary duct work carried warm air from the furnaces in the basement‚ and in 1878 Clemens had an early model of the telephone installed in the kitchen. There were also two features that ran on batteries: a burglar alarm system, and an “enunciator” bell for calling the servants.
In Valentine’s Day, the National Theater of the Deaf will present The Diaries of Adam & Eve by Mark Twain. The Performance will take place in English, American Sign Language. Love is the language that we can all feel.  When the Tony Award-winning National Theater of the Deaf comes to the Twain Museum Center to perform Mark Twain’s most touching love story, audiences will also be able to see and hear every word.  The Diaries of Adam & Eve are a humorous and affectionate look at the first couple on Earth’s misadventures in the Garden of Eden.  A valentine of sorts to Twain’s own marriage to his beloved Livy, celebrate with this unique performance followed by a wine and chocolate reception.
