About us

We are local explorers that venture into our own backyard...the Five Boroughs of New York City. We will visit historical landmarks, forgotten places, well-known places and go off the beaten path. If you love urban exploration or were just curious to see what was in your own town, this group is for you!

Membership is free and all is welcome!

Looking for Borough experts, Assistant Organizers and Event Organizers!

Find us on Facebook! Get information on happenings around the city, recommendations on books, shows, restaurants, etc., ideas and updates on upcoming events. All are welcome to post your ideas and photos!

  • High Line & Hudson Yards Singles Date Walk (20s, 30s, 40s)

    High Line & Hudson Yards Singles Date Walk (20s, 30s, 40s)

    Shake Shack Meatpacking District, 820 Washington St, New York, NY, US

    *TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/high-line-date-walk-singles-stroll-tickets-856377517207

    (Limited # of ladies save $5 by using discount code LADIES at checkout. Multiple groups are co-organizing. Space is limited and this event sells out every time.)

    Take in the beautiful views of both the High Line & Hudson Yards while meeting fun & friendly singles! Hudson Yards is the ultimate must-visit holiday destination in NYC, with over two million glittering lights throughout the neighborhood.

    Get some fresh air, a little exercise, and meet some new people… and maybe even that special someone! Plus, enjoy the unique architecture & cutting-edge art that is all a part of the High Line and Hudson Yards.

    These "Date Walks" are a very casual and non-awkward way to meet others. Our host will be there to make introductions and every 10 minutes or so, will also ask the men to switch with a woman they have not spoken to yet so everyone gets a chance to talk with everyone.
    We'll walk a 1.5-2 mile stretch of the High Line & Hudson Yards. We will then hang afterwards at a nearby fun venue for food and drinks.

    FAQs:
    How many will attend? We are limiting the # of attendees to 30 so that there is enough time to meet and spend time with everyone. And we do our best to keep the gender ratio as even as possible.

    What are the ages? We'll have a good mix of ages and everyone usually finds others in their age group.

    What if rains? We will email attendees a new date.
    Can I come alone? Yes, about 90% come on their own.

    How much? $15-$25 depending upon when you get ticket and spots left.

    "Hot Takes" Speed Dating (Comp Drink for Ladies) + Free After Party

    "Hot Takes" Speed Dating (Comp Drink for Ladies) + Free After Party

    Rosa Agave & Wine Lounge, 203 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY, US

    *TICKETS for 20s & 30s - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hot-takes-speed-dating-20s-30s-tickets-1986025691305
    *TICKETS for 30s & 40s - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hot-takes-speed-dating-30s-40s-tickets-1986726722107
    (*Limited # of Women save $5 using discount code "5" at checkout. Must purchase a ticket in advance to attend.)
    As written up in the latest *USA Today, check out the newest and "hottest" type of speed dating! Skip the small talk and share your personal opinions on some interesting topics! The idea is to accelerate finding compatibility by being your true authentic self.
    Forget awkward speed dating. Forget another night of swiping dating apps. This "hot takes" night makes dating fun again with a room full of people who actually match your energy.
    How it works: Ladies will receive a complimentary drink upon before a 7:30 pm arrival time. During the speed dating, ladies will sit and men will rotate. At the beginning of each round, there will be a question/topic in which each participant will offer their “hot take” on the subject matter and question posed.
    As you sit across from your new potential match, each person will have a minute to offer your personal opinion/viewpoint, and then both participants will have 3 minutes to ask further clarifying questions and have a conversation on the matter in a respectful, light hearted manner.
    Your matches will be delivered the next day, and everyone will receive a complimentary after party going on in the same venue until 10 pm.
    * https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/01/20/hot-take-dating-trend-explained-daters-singles/88216787007/
    What To Expect:

    • New and innovative speed dating concept which accelerates true compatibility
    • Ladies receive complimentary drink upon entry before 7:30 pm arrival
    • Complimentary after party with additional singles in the same age range
    • Your matches delivered the next day via email or text

    As The Cloud One is waiving their large group rental fee, a one item spend is required for ladies and a 2 item spend is required for men
    Dress code: Dress to impress/business casual. No t-shirts, sneakers, hats
