IMPORTANT:

- After paying online, please check your credit / debit card account to make sure the transaction went through.

- RSVP on Meetup is optional and does NOT reserve your spot or lock in the price. Please use the blue Ticketleap or Paypal link above.

- Emergency contact for "day of" is (917) 680-0656 if you are late or lost. The voicemail greeting will list our first one or two stops. For all other info, send an "old-fashioned" text directly to my number. Do NOT attempt to reach me via email, Meetup, Ticketleap or any other Internet-based channel, as those methods are not reliable on my phone.

- If you have bought a ticket but cannot attend, you have two options. To get a credit toward a future art tour or walk, notify me via direct (not Internet-based) text, voice call, or voicemail. This must be done BEFORE the listed start time so that the group does not get stuck waiting for you. Alternatively, you can send someone in your place; at check-in, simply have him or her mention the name under which you paid.

- Sorry, no refunds unless the event is cancelled or rescheduled.

- The tour will last two to three hours. Afterward, we may go somewhere nearby for drinks, food and socializing if there is interest.

- Art novices are welcome, as are people with extensive art backgrounds.

- This event was created specifically for members of my Meetup groups and private email lists, their guests, and special invitees.

- Please note that the total RSVP count includes people coming from other Meetup and non-Meetup groups. It is manually updated every 12 - 48 hours and is NOT an arbitrary number. However, also remember that "no-shows" can never be accurately predicted.

See you there!

NYC Speed Dating - Dating Games
Is your dating life starting to feel monotonous? Do your dates resemble job interviews more than actual chemistry? Sick of dedicating your entire evening to getting to know just one person? Then check out “Dating Games” Speed Dating! It’s a lively, modern twist on the classic format. Join us for a one-of-a-kind social experience for NYC singles! Meet new people, win raffle prizes, and connect with other fun, like-minded singles. It’s not only a great way to meet a potential partner—it’s also perfect for finding new friends or even future wingmen/wingwomen.
Suggested age range: 20s, 30s & 40s.
Our warm, welcoming host will get things started before dividing everyone into small groups at various tables. You’ll chat, mingle, and play lighthearted social games with groups of about 4–5 singles. The games are easy, super fun, and designed to help everyone open up and connect. After each round, you’ll rotate tables—just like traditional speed dating—so you'll eventually meet all the singles attending. You’ll also receive a “match sheet,” where you can mark anyone you’d like to speak with again. If they choose you as well, the host will email you each other’s contact information within roughly 24 hours so you can plan a date.
Let’s be honest—we’re all tired of endless swiping on apps and meeting people who may not be anything like their profiles. A “Dating Games” Speed Dating night is a far better way to connect because you meet real people in person and get a genuine sense of who they are.
This is an entirely new, innovative take on speed dating! We appreciate the idea behind traditional speed dating, but it can be tough to keep conversations flowing. That’s why at “Dating Games” events, you’ll have entertaining, easy-to-play games to help break the ice and avoid the typical interview-style awkwardness. We find this format helps people connect more naturally and meaningfully.

### WIN PRIZES!

You’ll enjoy an evening full of fresh faces, interactive games, and social fun—no special skills needed, just a little luck! Our friendly host will guide the whole experience and help everyone get acquainted. Throughout the night you’ll play multiple games while getting opportunities to interact with all the singles of the opposite sex. When you win a game, you earn a raffle ticket—giving you chances to win prizes!

### IMPORTANT: THIS IS A PRE-PAY EVENT ONLY

Tickets must be purchased online in advance—registration at the venue will not be available. As the event nears and space becomes limited, the price will increase to $35.
