Any tips for proposing in NYC

Obviously one would add personal flair but in general any ideas to make it more romantic and sweet?

Not in front of people. Make it personal and meaningful and say something from the heart.

This. Unless she’s a complete and absolute attention whore, this.

I was proposed to in a VERY busy touristy area, and I was so uncomfortable with everyone gawking and making comments, snapping pictures, asking if we wanted them to email us pictures (this was pre-iPhone). It ruined the entire mood.

+1 tell her to meet you there (and pray she isn’t hit by a car on the way)

My brother planned it out and proposed on the corner where he had his 1st kiss.

Unfortunately - there was a dumpster there at the time of proposal and not quite the feel he was going for.

Know what she likes. I hate red roses, for example.

Disagree. DH and I are both private and not attention whores. He proposed in Rockefeller center. Both of us loved the cheering afterwards. It was personal and meaningful to us. I also love seeing proposals in public. Quite a few of my friends were very disappointed by their proposals where the guy basically just handed them a ring in their own apartment.

Although, of course, it depends on the preferences of the person you're proposing to. You also need to make sure she will say yes if you do it publicly.

Imho people cheering for you add to joy. If so private then why bother with NYC, a quiet park in your hometown is as good.

It depends on what she's into. You could arrange it at a show or in Central Park, at a fancy dinner, on a boat cruise, at the Met, etc etc.

If it's a pretty morning, maybe the High Line?
