New York Singles welcome!
NYC is so big, yet there are so many singles who are looking for a match in NY. Lets make it singles less, or at least meet great, fun people and have a amazing time to remember.
This group is not about going to bars and clubs, but just meeting up somewhere and doing something awesome.
All sorts of singles events! Whether it be a boat cruise, a Broadway play, fashion shows, museums, tours etc. Events galore!
Its time to make new friends and re-create the good old college days. Its time to create another network of people you can rely upon. Its time for more crazy-wild times and stories.
So get out of from your comfort zone, and explore with us the NYC. With other singles. This is the best way to start meeting and dating in New York. When you are full of activity, events and zest. Lets have fun.
What do you say? Lets meet-up!
Featured event
Serengeti Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension! A Journey of a Lifetime!!
We all have seen Lion King in one form or another . . . It's now time to go to the source.
Our meetup is off to Africa for The Great Migration Photo Safari! We did this amazing trip in the summer of 2024 and everybody had a blast! (see photos in the link below)
Encounter the exotic wildlife of the Serengeti! Marvel at the lions, zebras, elephants and so many majestic animals we have only seen in the zoo or in movies.
On Serengeti's vast, treeless plains tens of thousands of hoofed animals are constantly on the move in search of fresh grassland. This is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to experience the best game viewing in Africa!
Like every trip we do with Meetup, this one is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.
The itinerary is:
July 5 Arrival Kilimanjaro Intl Airport and transfer to Arusha
July 6 Arusha to Tarangire National Park
July 7 Ngorongoro Crater full day game drive
July 8 Ngorongoro to Serengeti National Park (Central Seronera area)

July 11 Northern Serengeti (Kogatende)
July 12 Northern Serengeti (Kogatende) to Lake Natron
July 13 Lake Natron to Arusha

All of these locations don't mean much to you at the moment, but after the trip you will remember them forever as some of the best places you have ever visited!

NYC Bingo Speed Dating Event: Spots Are Limited & Will Likely Sell Out So Get Ticket ASAP. Price Goes Up As Event Date Approaches.
Welcome to Bingo Speed Dating... At this event you will be going on a series of about 7 to 12 mini dates with each date lasting about 5 minutes each. Women stay seated and the men rotate from table to table until they meet each woman.
At the start of the event you'll be given a Bingo sheet. During your speed dating rounds you'll have to get as many Bingo squares as possible checked off. The winners get prizes!
To check off a square, you’ll need to find someone who matches it..
For example:
---> Find someone who has more than 2 pets
---> Find someone who has seen every Harry Potter movie
---> Find someone who has traveled to more than 2 countries this year
So on your speed date you might ask the person questions like, "Do you have more than 2 pets?" or "Have you traveled to more than 2 countries this year?"
Oh, and throughout the event the host will occasionally be calling off Bingo numbers (ie. B6, N32, etc.)
If you complete a row, column, or diagonal… You shout: “BINGO!” 🎉 Once someone wins Bingo, we keep playing until someone else wins (We often have multiple winners so multiple prizes will be give out!)It’s interactive. It’s engaging. It’s way more fun than a dating app!
Best of all? You get genuine connection, real conversation, and a safe, low-pressure way to see if there’s a spark!
You will also get a match card and at the end of each mini-date you'll indicate whether or not you'd like to see the person again. At the end of the evening you will hand your match card in to the event host. If you both select each other, we will send you each others' email address within 48 hours so you can set up a future date! Within 48 hrs, you'll receive an email with the first name and email of your mutual matches. We do not give out names or contact info unless there is a mutual match.
Our Speed Dating events tend to attract quality, single professionals who are done with the dating games and ready to meet that special someone. Most people know within a few minutes if they would like to see someone again.
This Event Beats The Endless Swiping On Dating Apps!
Let’s be honest — we’re all exhausted from the endless swiping on dating apps and wondering if someone actually looks like their profile picture. At this event you skip the guesswork and meet real people face-to-face before deciding if you’d like to take things further!
* Check in starts 15 minutes before event start time so if possible please arrive a bit early.
* QUICK NOTE: MOST PEOPLE COME BY THEMSELF SO DON'T WORRY IF YOU'RE COMING ON ALONE. 90% OF PEOPLE WILL BE COMING BY THEMSELF. YOU'LL MEET AND GET TO KNOW PEOPLE QUICKLY! *
