Oh boy oh boy!
I'd have to say a night time stroll around the Empire State Plaza. We don't have any romantic vistas like the movies' with a drive up lot over a shimmering city below, but we do have a fantastic place to stop and look out over downtown and there's this great feeling that the plaza is a well kept secret for lovers out for a walk at night.

My husband and I like getting dessert from Ayelada or Control Tower and watching the planes take off and land at Albany airport at night

I had a wonderful dinner with my (at the time) future wife once at The Wine Bar in Saratoga. We celebrated our engagement there, and they were gracious enough to hold a table for us next to the fireplace on a very busy evening. My wife mentions it to this day as one of the most romantic meals we've had together.

My favorite romantic place in the Capitol Region is the Speakeasy under City Beer Hall. We dress a little nicer, speak a little softer, and avoid the usual distraction of cell phones and televisions.
Talented jazz musicians play brassy notes, as tea candles toss dramatic shadows the walls and glassware. Velvet-upholstered couches, suspendered bartenders, and potent, but tailored-to-your liking cocktails all provide the perfect backdrop to allow you to focus your attention on the one you're with and great conversation.
