Whether you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, business professional or just someone who wants to meet new people, this event is for you! It's the perfect opportunity to get away from your desk, have some cocktails and network with potential business partners, investors, industry professionals and new clients.... Or make some new friends! We've witnessed countless business connections and friendships form at our past events. We'd say about 70% of the crowd is usually single so it can be a great place to meet someone special as well. A Secret Networking Event is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people network in NYC. It is a fun and easy way to connect with others in a relaxed, low pressure environment. **SECRET SYMBOL** After you sign up we'll send you an email with a list of different industries and interests to choose from. Each industry/interest will have a different "secret symbol". This secret symbol will let the other event attendees know what industry/industries you're in or what topic/topics you're interested in. Once you select what industry and/or topics you're interested in you'll be directed to a page with printable paper bracelet templates with your secret symbol on them. You can select one industry or multiple industries or topics. If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw the secret symbol/s on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event. For example... those in the tech industry might have a triangle as their secret symbol... those in the real estate industry might have a square as their secret symbol... those single and looking to potentially meet someone special might have a circle as their secret symbol... those interested in crypto might have a lightning bolt as their secret symbol, etc. Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. **\*\* EVENT LOCATION IS LISTED ON THE EVENTBRITE PAGE \*\*** *\* QUICK NOTE: THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 25 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP ONLY REFLECTS A SMALL PORTION OF ACTUAL ATTENDEES.* *An email we received about one of our recent events: "Thank you so much for throwing such a great event. The crowd was really great and everyone was super friendly. As a busy professional I don't get that much time to get out and meet people so it was nice to be in such a relaxed environment. Event well done!" - Danielle, NYC* **//// Want to see all of the most fun events coming in NYC?

This romantic social experiment transforms the 42nd Street Shuttle (S Train) into a mobile venue for serendipitous connection. By participating, commuters signal their openness to romance through a simple floral code: a **red rose** for men and a **white rose** for women. The Floral Protocol * **The Signal:** Wear your designated rose clearly on your lapel or hold it in your hand while traveling between **Times Square** and **Grand Central**. * **The Connection:** Maintain intentional eye contact to confirm mutual interest. * **The Proposal:** In a gesture of classic chivalry, the man may drop to one knee. * **The Acceptance:** If the woman accepts the gesture, she gently assists him back to his feet, followed by a celebratory kiss to mark the beginning of their shared story. Plan Your Route The shuttle runs continuously, making it easy to participate at any time. You can check real-time service status on the MTA Official Website to ensure a smooth journey. After a successful connection, many couples choose to celebrate their first moments together at the iconic **Grand Central Terminal**, which offers various dining options listed on the Grand Central Dining Directory. \-\-\- **El Ritual de Conexión** **El Código de Vestimenta:** Los hombres llevan o visten una rosa roja 🌹; las mujeres llevan o visten una rosa blanca. **La Chispa:** Entre el ajetreo del Tren S (Lanzadera), busca a tu contraparte floral. Cuando encuentres a alguien que cautive tu corazón, mantén la mirada para cerrar la brecha entre extraños. **El Gesto:** Tras la señal silenciosa, el hombre se pone de rodillas en el suelo del vagón—un tributo audaz y clásico a la mujer frente a él. **La Unión:** Para aceptar, la mujer toma suavemente su mano para ayudarlo a levantarse, sellando el momento con un beso mientras el tren avanza hacia su destino. **El Comienzo de Tu Historia** Una vez que bajes del andén, no dejes que el impulso se desvanezca. * **Celebra el Momento:** Haz la transición del metro a la grandeza de la Terminal Grand Central. Puedes encontrar un rincón tranquilo para su primera conversación real consultando el Mapa de Grand Central Terminal. * **Una Primera Cita Cerca:** Si la chispa es inmediata, toma un cóctel en el histórico Campbell Bar o un café en una de las muchas cafeterías de la terminal. * **Logística del Viajero:** Asegúrate de que tu encuentro romántico no se vea interrumpido por retrasos verificando el Estado del MTA Shuttle antes de salir con tu rosa.

Admission to the museum is free. This exhibition will be on display from February 19 until April 19, 2026. If you cannot attend the opening, please stop in and see the show at your convenience. Call ahead for hours. This exhibition is a comprehensive exploration of the symbiotic relationship between the world of fashion and fine art. Featuring more than 140 objects, including garments, accessories, textiles, photographs, and original artworks drawn from MFIT's permanent collection, *Art X Fashion* challenges the traditional hierarchies of visual culture, presenting fashion and art each as parallel, potent expressions of social, intellectual, and creative forces. Curated by Dr. Elizabeth Way, curator of costume and accessories at MFIT, the exhibition reflects MFIT's mission to advance the understanding and appreciation of fashion's critical role in culture. The core of *Art X Fashion* lies in its profound engagement with the eternal question: "Is fashion art?" The exhibition explores the ways that fashion has always been a partner, not a follower, of fine art, highlighting typically overlooked integrations throughout history. This includes examples of how the two disciplines have worked together to create European styles, from the drama of Rococo and Neoclassical grandeur to the unsettling world of Surrealism, to the shock of Pop Art and postmodernism. **Share your excitement using #ArtXFashionMFIT** **Go to https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/art-fashion/index.php for more information.**

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 * Ages of the speed dating will be eligible singles who are in 30s & 40s * 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.
