Did you hear that overnight, it became November? Well, it did. The clock dropped back, the leaves yellowed (or grew orange or red), and now, you're ready to get down. We're here to help.

We hit you up with free events for November, because we care about your wallets. We hit you up with ways to celebrate Thanksgiving, because, well this one's kind of obvious isn't it? Thanksgiving is the big thing in November.

Then, we came at you with ways to be thankful in November, because of that whole Thanksgiving thing we mentioned. We want you to be thankful. 

Now, we want to help you get laid. Or, we want to help you fall in love. Or, we want to help you do both.

Do you ever feel like New York City is the third party in your relationship? That's because it is. Falling in love beside Central Park Lake would not be the same without the Lake. Flocking to concerts at the Bowery would not be the same without the Bowery.

Do you see what we're getting at? Great, we knew you would. Read on to discover some great date ideas for November.

1. Louie and Chan (303 Broome Street)

How does a charming 1920s era with delicious food and an old-timey vibe sound for your date? 

We're serious, Louie and Chan is where it's at. If you're not fawning over the tartufata pizza you'll be fawning into your date's eyes. At least, hopefully. We mean it though, the burrata is the stuff of dreams and the zeppoles are everything. Like, really, they're little puffs of heaven.

All we're saying is that if you go to Louie and Chan for dinner you and your date will float off into a cloud of deliciousness, and you'll emerge back on earth like super in love with life. 

Plus, if you want to get wasted, coming on a Tuesday evening is the move. They serve these really delicious campari Americano cocktails on Tuesday evenings for 35¢. So you can get totally buzzed at Prohibition era prices, eat amazing food, and hopefully live happily ever.

2. Evening Jazz Cruise

Is there anything more romantic than a cruise at sunset? We doubt it. Can you picture it now? Your date's hand in yours, or better, around your shoulder, the wind whipping at your hair, and the trees a brilliant red, yellow, and orange from the shoreline?

You'll pass landmarks like Battery Park, the Statue of Liberty, and the Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges.

There will also be a fully stocked bar, so you can totally get twisted while you cruise. You'll also be able to purchase specialty New York State wines aboard the yacht. One complimentary drink is included, which is always excellent.

You'll also be able to jam out to some really stellar jazz. The band does take requests, so don't be shy about asking for your favorite song. Get your tickets here.

3. Brooklyn Crush Wine and Artisanal Food Festival (34 35th Street - Brooklyn)

Delicious wine and amazing food? Sounds like the perfect love recipe in our books.

Think about it. Wine is a better love potion than just about any we could fathom, and good food makes everyone happy. What do people do when they're happy? Well, they make out, clearly.

The Brooklyn Crush Wine & Artisanal Food Festival is going down on Saturday, November 14th. There are two sessions; one is from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the other is from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Industry City in Building Four.

We'd have to suggest the evening session for your romantic date, as that's the one you'd be most likely to wind up at one apartment together instead of your separate apartments afterward, in our opinions. Get your tickets here.

4. I Eat Problems for Dinner at Exhibit C (88 Eldridge Street)

Who needs problems when you're on a date? Absolutely no one, that's who. What if you could eat your problems for dinner, and then be prepared to fall into dating bliss?

We thought that sounded appealing. Sounds superbly satisfying to us. It's going down on November 16th at Exhibit C. from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

This new concept, piloted by the incredibly innovative 25 year old Chef Daphne Cheng, is brilliant. She and the folks at Savory Salon are culinary entrepreneurs throwing together fabulous "renegade dinner parties." 

The allure here is seamlessly mixing good people and good food to bring together a community of visionaries, and it’s a delicious success. 

The dinners are family style with the large group seated together, yet they still retain the beautiful spark of intimacy we all crave. The food is amazing, the collaboration itself is amazing, and the space is gorgeously intimate. These dinners are incredible, and perfect for dates. RSVP for this event here.

5. Ice skating at Bryant Park

Did you hear about the free admission ice rink at Bryant Park's Winter Village? We're sure you've heard about it by now. It's probably the most romantic activity in the entire city during the holiday season.

If you haven't heard about it, it's totally and completely free if you have your own skates. If you don't have skates, you can rent them for $15 until November 20th, and then for $19 from November 20th to January 3rd.

They've got lockers free of charge with locks available to purchase, skating shows, special events, and some really great ice bites, comfort foods, and hot drinks.

The cold weather encourages cuddling, which we fully endorse. Whether your date is an olympic figure skater or never skated in her entire life, you'll probably leave the rink at Bryant Park flushed, tired, and way in love.

6. The Imbible: Christmas Carol Cocktails (300 West 43rd)

We were thinking going to see a Christmas play would probably a really great opportunity to spend a long stretch of time sitting next to someone special, holding his hand, and building an attraction. Plus, of course, you'd have the chance to get all stoked on that holiday cheer.

Then we thought maybe getting drunk would be a better use of a date.

When we came across The Imbible: Christmas Carol Cocktails, we were more than stoked. It combines everything we can think of to make a date special.

You'll watch the three Christmas spirits teach Scrooge how to make three different cocktails and then, this is the best part, you'll get to drink them. It's the funniest blast of an interactive play since Sleep No More. Buy your tickets here.

7. The Nutcracker (20 Lincoln Center Plaza)

The Nutcracker is a gorgeous holiday tradition. You should continue it by going to see it with someone special this year.

There are ballerinas, who reveal the enchanting Land of Sweets. There are toy soldiers who come to life, and music so beautiful you'll probably find yourself crying. 

The choreography is by George Balanchine, and the music, the famed play's original score, was written by Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky. Don't miss the chance to be totally enchanted by this gorgeous ballet, plus completely nostalgic for the time you first saw this play in your childhood.

It's being staged from November 27th through January 3rd at the David H. Koch Theater. Get your tickets here.

8. Brooklyn Holiday Bazaar (501 Union Street)

This free-to-attend event will be all the rage in Brooklyn this holiday season. It's popping off on November 28th and 29th from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 501 Union. 

In sum, it brings together the best of Brooklyn under one roof. You've got amazing food, live DJs, a DIY workshop corner, specialty cocktails, and a photo booth for you and your date to commemorate your adventure with plenty of photos. 

There will also be more than 40 vendors, who will be selling so many insanely excellent holiday gifts you'll hardly be able to stand it. Can you pick out your beau's gift with her there? We hope so. We also hope you sample Baba's Pierogies.
