If you met your partner in New York City, celebrating your engagement with a view of the skyline is a sweet nod to your Big Apple love story. For one of the best panoramic skyline views, head across the river to Williamsburg's Bar Blondeau.

Both indoor and outdoor spaces offer incredible views and a full buyout of the restaurant can accommodate up to 150 guests.
