About us

This is a a group for people who live and work In NY and the surrounding area, but who recognize we are in one of the greatest metropolitan areas in the world. It's for people who are creatures of the city, with all its diversity, possibilities, opportunities, and excitement. To be sure, we will make excursions into the city--and that includes Queens and Brooklyn as well as Manhattan...and let's not forget the Bronx and Staten Island as well. However, we will get together here on Long Island too, in the interest of promoting convenience and encouraging inclusion by people whose budgets may not allow them to take trips to the city as frequently as they'd like. The point of this group is as much to allow meeting, forming friendships, and having fellowship with others whose hearts belong in the city, as it is to take trips into the city for all that it offers.
Some of the event types we offer are :Museums, speed dating, bowling, pool, golf, bingo, shows, rock climbing, mingles and more. 
This group is not for pick-up or seduction techniques, or wingman tactics.

Warm regards,

Upcoming events

    🌟 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.
