An anniversary deserves an evening without logistics. In New York and New Jersey, classic ideas include Broadway and dinner, skyline views from a rooftop or observation deck, a jazz club, a harbor cruise, or a day trip to the Hudson Valley or a winery. A chauffeured car ties the evening together: no parking, no designated driver, and a car waiting outside the theater or restaurant. It’s also a thoughtful gift for parents or grandparents celebrating a milestone anniversary.
