One block down from Red Hook Tavern there's Fort Defiance, which is good for lunch\quick break\a snack

turning to fuk in my hour of need!

my mrs is hounding me to pop the question, i've decided new years eve might be the job, but trying to find the right place given the constraints below!

- mrs works till 2pm and can't out earlier
- earliest flight circa 5pm from Manchester airport
- needs to therefore be a short flight (2 hours or so) so I we can get to the hotel and be out for the evening

I can only think of Paris as a decent destination, but that's way to obvious! anyone got any ideas?! thanks in advance

copenhagen is a great shout! flight is 1h 55 mins

berlin not bad in terms of time, but been there twice

others little bit too long flight time i think

don't do it on NYE, or NYD, or Valentines, or her birthday, or your birthday, or your anniversary or my birthday or Halloween whatever, just let them days be them, make a new date for you as a couple, (plus if it doesn't work out you don't ever associate one of the fore-mentioned with when you got engaged)

I did it in Madrid, loads of nice places around the city to do so.

This 1 million percent

That’s a fair point around the date, but I’ve told her I’d squeeze it in this year , she’s been on at me all year and now I’ve ran out of time and I’ve not much annual leave left so that weekend seems to work!

Bruges could be a shout, always wanted to go there
After the in Bruges film!

Will also check Madrid and report back

Like something out of a Mills & Boon novel right there.

Paris booked in the end to boost the romance
Flight times were the quickest at 1 hour 30 so it won
