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!

    (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.

    The night consists of three rounds of different games based on different game shows. After each game you will randomly switch teams, giving you a chance to meet all of the attendees. So, put on your competitive hat and join us for a night of gaming, socializing, and winning!
    How it works:

    • Arrive at 6:30pm for food and drinks at the bar/lounge.
    • At 7pm we will create teams of 4-5. After each round you will rotate to a new team.
    • Pay as you go for food and drinks on a separate check. Please arrive early if you wish to eat. (Although you will be able to eat while playing if coming late.)
    • The games played that night may be loosely based on Family Feud, Wheel Of Fortune, Jeopardy and others.

    FAQs:
    Can I come alone? Most come on their own. If you don't know anyone, the ice-breakers will help you meet others. Come alone or bring a friend - either way you'll feel comfortable and have a great time.
