Hear from those who found love at our events
I was skeptical about speed dating, but NY Minute Dating changed my perspective completely. The event was well-organized, the venue was beautiful, and I met my now-fiancé on my first try! Thank you for helping us find each other.
After years of online dating disappointment, I decided to try speed dating. The quality of people I met was incredible – educated, successful, and genuinely looking for relationships. I'm now happily dating someone I met at the Brooklyn event.
The atmosphere was sophisticated and pressure-free. Everyone was friendly and the organizers made sure everything ran smoothly. I've attended three events now and have had wonderful dates from each one. Highly recommend!
The fastest, most natural way to meet quality singles in New York City.
New York is one of the best places in the world to be single — and one of the hardest to actually meet someone. Between packed schedules, endless dating apps, and a city of eight million people, it's easy to feel like you're swiping forever and getting nowhere. Speed dating flips that on its head: in a single, relaxed evening you'll have a series of genuine, face-to-face conversations with other local singles — no profiles, no algorithms, and no waiting days for a reply.
There's a reason face-to-face still beats an app: you know within minutes whether there's a spark. Each mini-date lasts about five minutes — long enough to feel a real connection, short enough that there's never any pressure. You'll typically meet around 10 to 15 local singles in one evening, far more than you'd realistically meet swiping for a month.
Our events draw fun, successful New Yorkers — professionals in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond — who are serious about meeting someone, not just collecting matches. Every event is organized by age range, so you'll always be meeting people at a similar stage of life.
We host our mixers at hand-picked bars, lounges, and restaurants across NYC's most vibrant dating hubs — from Manhattan neighborhoods like the Flatiron District, Chelsea, Midtown East, and the East Village to prime Brooklyn spots in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and DUMBO. Each venue is chosen for a fun, comfortable atmosphere where conversation comes easily.
Show up on your own or bring a friend, enjoy a drink, and let our hosts handle the rest. Afterward you simply log in and choose who you'd like to see again — and when the interest is mutual, we connect you. It's how thousands of New Yorkers have met face-to-face and found real relationships.
