About us
Because we are smart enough to know how to have fun through unique events! So what are people saying about the New York Brainiacs?
"Wow, that event looks AMAZING!", "Oh my, I have never heard of that kind of event before!", "Where do you come up with these ideas, they are incredible"
We get together for fun and unique events including trivia nights, visiting museums, art galleries, classes, wine tastings, music, social mixers, parties, theater, walking tours, scavenger hunts, and more.
Our events are casual and fun with plenty of opportunity for socializing. Anyone can join. Most of our members are single, but it is not a requirement. If your plans change, all we ask is that you please update your RSVP's at least 24 hours before an event.

Online SPEED DATING (Men and Women ages 30 and 40s)
·OnlineOnline*TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT THIS LINK
https://www.weekenddating.com/event-details.aspx?id=13483#tix*Register at the bolded ticket link in the full event description.
(These sell out quickly so if you'd like participate, please register ASAP. Multiple groups are co-organizing so the RSVP's shown are just a small portion attending. We have a good # registered and we keep the gender ratio even.)
This is the perfect event to meet singles from the tri-state area - all from the comfort of your own home. Get to meet people online before meeting them in person! You will meet singles via your computer with webcam or smartphone/tablet (strong WiFi connection required if using a phone).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We will break participants into pairs of two, just like we do with traditional speed dating. You will get to speak to each dates for a specified amount of time (typically 4-6 minutes). After the specified number of minutes, the guys will rotate to the next date and the process continues.
Just like with traditional speed dating, at the end of the event you will be able to let us know who you were interested in. We will send you both mutual matches (you picked them and they picked you) as well as one way matches (they picked you but you did not pick them).
You are given 20 minutes from the end of the event to let us know who you are interested in and will receive the results the same night (usually within one hour) or the next morning. You will not have to wait 24 hours or more to get your results.
The minimum number of potential dates will be 5 and the maximum will be about 10. If there are less than 5 members of the opposite sex in attendance, you will get credit for a future virtual event.
How do I find the Zoom Room?
After you purchase your ticket, you will get a confirmation appear on your screen along with the Zoom link for you to use to log in.
Cost? Between $23-$25 depending on how early you register.
Rsvps on here are not reflective of actual attendance as this is a multi group event.
