About us

Ok, now the kids are older or out of the house and you're ready for the next great stage of your life.  Want to meet others similar to yourself? Live in the area of NYC or Long Island? Then this group is for you.

Welcome to the "Greater NYC and Long Island Over 40 and Ready For Fun" Meetup group. This group is for all of us who want to put a big dose of fun into their lives by making new friends to share the joy of life with.  It is not a "singles group" exclusively but is rather for anyone who likes to have fun which, I hope includes you!

I am trying to keep this a "Yes" only group so, if the timing of a certain event doesn't work for you or it is not something that you are interested in, we understand and we'll see you at some other event.  In that case, please don't feel like you need to respond by RSVPing with a "No" but if you are planning to join us at an event, please RSVP "Yes" as early as possible to help us create some buzz about that event. 

All members are invited to post events to the group and anyone who would like to become a sponsor of it is invited to do that as well for a small one time fee.

    ABOUT
    Do you know more than 6th Graders! Here is your opportunity to have some fun playing our Live intearctive trivia game (Categories will be History, English/literature, Geography, Science, Math, Potpori).

    HOW IT WORKS
    This completely online event will be LIVE and you will be able to see and hear the other participants while playing. In addition you get to meet and interact with other participants.

    At game time, your host will read off Trivia questions. Your goal is to come up with the right answer to each question and write it down on your paper. Once the round is over (about 6 questions), we will go through the answers and determine who had the highest score for the round. They will get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize at the end of the event.

    Prizes may include Amazon Gift Cards, Free future events and other goodies.

    We will have multiple rounds of play and have a system to also virtually introduce you to other participants.

    DETAILS
    Looking to dive into the Queens speed dating scene? Imagine meeting up to 10 potential matches in just one evening! That’s right, you can experience multiple mini-dates all in one night, giving you the chance to spark a connection with someone special. Our events require proof of age, ensuring everyone is in the same age group, which makes the evening that much better.

    Our track record? Impressive! We’ve seen over 85 engagements, some adorable children, and countless happy couples who met at our events.

    Here’s how it works: men and women chat for about 5 minutes before the men rotate to the next partner. This keeps the conversation fresh and the energy high!

    After the event, you’ll have the chance to let us know who caught your eye. We’ll tally up the results and send you the details of your matches (both mutual and one-way) the very next day. It’s a great way to reconnect with those you felt a spark with!

    Ready to find love, make friends, and possibly meet your perfect match? Join us at our next Long Island speed dating event. It’s a fun, safe, and efficient way to meet new people. Sign up now and start your journey to finding love and companionship!

    Jewish Virtual Speed Dating - Men and Women ages 27-43

    Jewish Virtual Speed Dating - Men and Women ages 27-43

    Online
    Online

    ## Open to those who live or work in NYC Tri State area. Jewish Single Men and Women ages 27-43. Prepay required at https://www.jewishdatingnyc.com/event-details.aspx?id=13711

    $25- $30

    🌟 Ever curious about how our fresh take on speed dating compares to the classic version? Let's dive in and see what's cooking!

    👫 One-on-One Dates: Just like the traditional scene, we pair you up for cozy little chats. Picture this: you, them, and a whirlwind convo lasting about 4-6 minutes. When time’s up, the guys do a little shuffle to the next captivating conversation. It’s like musical chairs but with better prospects of finding someone who gets your heart skipping a beat!

    💌 Who Caught Your Eye? Post-fluttery feelings, it’s your turn to play Cupid. Tell us your crushes, and we'll whip up a list of mutual sparks (both feeling the vibe) and admirers (they’re into you, maybe it’s time for a second look?). And because we’re all about instant gratification, you’ll get these juicy details super fast – think “while you’re still buzzing from the night” fast or at the latest, with your morning coffee.

    ⏱ No Waiting Around: You’ve got 20 minutes post-event to send in your love notes (aka your interest list). We’re talking lightning-speed results here, folks. No nail-biting or clock-watching required!

    👀 How Many Fish in the Sea? Expect to meet anywhere from 5 to a flirty 15 potential matches. And hey, if the stars don’t align and we end up with a smaller crew, you’re all set for a free ticket to our next virtual love fest.

    🖥 Zooming Into Love: Snagged your ticket? Awesome! You’ll get a confirmation faster than you can say “match made in heaven,” complete with the magic Zoom link to where all the action happens.

    Dreaming of a Caribbean vacation but dont want to go alone?
    Come along for a 4-night social escape at the adults-only, all-inclusive Club Med Turkoise.

    • Adults-Only & All-Inclusive resort experience
    • Choose a private solo room or share with a fellow traveler
    • Meet your travel companions in a pre-trip Zoom gathering
    • JFK-area participants can coordinate flights and travel together
    • Enjoy group activities while still having plenty of personal time

    Travel solo, but arrive with friends already waiting.
    We have a dedicated travel agent who is coordinating everything and can get you the current rates.

    Prices will vary depending on the room type /availability, if you want to share a room/ get your own room, want a non refundable rate or a flex rate that allows cancellations.

    Behind the scenes I am coordinating with possible roommate matching, setting up a get together to introduce other participants and handling logistics for those who want to leave from JFK.
