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!

Join fun and friendly tri-state professionals for a stroll/tour through the famous Dyker Heights Lights! These over the top Christmas displays have definitely earned its stripes as one of the best New York/Brooklyn attractions!
The stunning lights and endless decorations have become increasingly bigger and better every year! Dyker Heights’ impressive light display has been a tradition for more than 30 years and spans three avenues and several streets.
This tour/walk is an extremely fun and popular way to meet others in a safe, outdoor setting. Our host will help to make introductions. He will randomly pair you with others in the beginning then rotate at designated times so that you get to meet everyone participating while being socially distanced. Feel free to exchange contact info with others after walk.
We will meet at a place where you can get a hot chocolate or coffee to warm and we'll introduce you to others in the group. And then end the walk there and have a post mingle for those that want to hang out more.
FAQs:
How many will attend? We are limiting the # of attendees to a max of 20 which means this will sell out quickly!
What if rains/snows? We will email attendees a new date.
Can I come alone? Yes, about 90% come on their own.

"A Very Merry" Mystery Mixer (+ After Party)
Starchild Rooftop, 305 W48th St. ,, New York, NY, US*PURCHASE TICKET AT - https://dljparty.ticketleap.com/murder-mystery-mixer/dates/ (*Prepay Only Event. Multiple groups are co-organizing so RSVP's shown are just a very small portion attending. We will have at least 20.)
Get ready for the most scandalously festive night of the season! The North Pole is rolling out the red (and green) carpet for all your favorite classic Christmas cartoon characters — from Rudolph and Frosty to the Grinch, Yukon Cornelius, and Charlie Brown.
It’s the ultimate holiday bash — complete with eggnog, gossip, and a touch of Christmas chaos! Characters are schmoozing, campaigning for their Hall of Fame nominations, and indulging in some inter-cartoon rivalries, rumored affairs, and frosty attitudes. But just as the festivities reach their peak, the unthinkable happens and it is up to you to help solve the mystery…
🎄 Arrival & Check-In:
Step into the magic as you arrive at the venue and check in with our cheerful staff. You’ll receive your character assignment for the evening’s mystery — unless you’ve already reserved one in advance (character lists will be sent out closer to the event!).
🍸 Mix, Mingle & Munch:
Grab a festive cocktail, order a bite to eat, and enjoy mingling with your fellow guests as anticipation builds. (Food and drinks are pay-as-you-go.)
🕵️♀️ The Party Begins:
Once everyone’s checked in, the party kicks off! You will become one of the characters in the story and get to interact with all the others! You’ll work your way through a web of clues, secrets, and scandal as you chat and interact with other partygoers to solve The Case.
⚠️ Please arrive on time — late arrivals can’t join the mystery once it begins (no refunds).
🎉 Stay for the After-Party!
When the mystery is solved, the fun doesn’t end — you’re invited to stay and celebrate at our Holiday Grinchfest Party, free with your admission! Dance, laugh, and toast to the holiday season!
FAQs:
Can I come alone? Yes 90% of those attending will likely register on their own but you are invited to bring as many guests as you would like just register for that amount.
Age-specific? All are welcome 21 and over.
*$20-$30 depending upon how early you purchase. NOT sold at door. Game limited to 25 people and this sells out quickly!
