Yes, you are getting drunk at the zoo (don’t get all embarrassing, that’s not cute). Yes, it is awesome.

Bring A Date?
This is one of my go to dates every year (along with Brew at the Zoo). Get there early because the lines at the vendors build up really fast & you want to be able to get your drink on with your little sample cups. Once you’ve built up a nice buzz, head over to see the animals before the zoo closes for the day (at 4). Skip the little shuttle ride to the zoo & walk the length to the entrance holding hands. It sounds lame but it’s cute, I swear. Every year I forget that you can’t stay at the concert part the whole time because the zoo closes the same time as the event is over.

Find A Date?
Your best shot is to get there early, grab a seat in the grass next to a fun look group, then find someone to stroll the zoo with around 2. Earlier in the day, the zoo is filled with families so no shot there.

There’s a free shuttle ride to the zoo from Penn Station which makes it accessible without having to drive (though parking is free and abundant)!

TL;DR
Drink in the zoo!
