About us

We are local explorers that venture into our own backyard...the Five Boroughs of New York City. We will visit historical landmarks, forgotten places, well-known places and go off the beaten path. If you love urban exploration or were just curious to see what was in your own town, this group is for you!

Membership is free and all is welcome!

    Take in the beautiful views of both the High Line & Hudson Yards while meeting fun & friendly singles! Hudson Yards is the ultimate must-visit holiday destination in NYC, with over two million glittering lights throughout the neighborhood.
    Get some fresh air, a little exercise, and meet some new people… and maybe even that special someone! Plus, enjoy the unique architecture & cutting-edge art that is all a part of the High Line and Hudson Yards.
    These "Date Walks" are a very casual and non-awkward way to meet others. Our host will be there to make introductions and every 10 minutes or so, will also ask the men to switch with a woman they have not spoken to yet so everyone gets a chance to talk with everyone.
    We'll walk a 1.5-2 mile stretch of the High Line & Hudson Yards. We will then hang afterwards at a nearby fun venue for food and drinks.
    FAQs:
    How many will attend? We are limiting the # of attendees to 30 so that there is enough time to meet and spend time with everyone. And we do our best to keep the gender ratio as even as possible.
    What are the ages? We'll have a good mix of ages and everyone usually finds others in their age group.
    What if rains? We will email attendees a new date.
    Can I come alone? Yes, about 90% come on their own.
    How much? $15-$25 depending upon when you get ticket and spots left.
