    This is the perfect cure for your cabin fever! The temps are going to warm up next weekend and will be the perfect opportunity to go out and meet others your age while also getting some exercise and seeing the beautiful park.
    Our 50 & Over Social Walks are an extremely popular way to make new friends and meet others in a safe and unique setting. This event is very casual and non-awkward + our host will help to make introductions.
    Little Island provides a one-of-a-kind relationship between nature and art—a break from urban life and a connection to spontaneity and joy. It's become NYC's newest and hottest attraction!
    We'll make several stops along the park so that people can take pictures and admire the beautiful views. We'll circle the island a couple of times and then afterwards, we'll continue the walk along the Hudson River.
    During the walk, you will randomly be paired with others in the beginning then rotate at designated times so that you get to meet everyone participating. Afterwards, you're welcome to hang out and exchange contact info with others.
    FAQs:
    Where to meet? Exact meeting location with host contact info will be sent to all paid attendees day of the event.
    How many will attend? We are limiting the # of attendees so that there's enough room for everyone to feel comfortable.
    What if rains? We will email attendees a new date.
    Can I come alone? Yes, about 90% come on their own.
    Ages? 50s & Over. Gender balance is not guaranteed but we usually get a good mix.
    How much? $15-$25 depending upon when you get ticket and spots left.

    (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.

    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.
