We've Found a NYC Dating App With an Actual Waiting List... This is Why

2019-03-01T17:00:00-05:00

Let’s admit it - dating in the city isn’t what it used to be. Catching someone's eye at a bar or brushing shoulders on the subway is likely to lead to dirty looks rather than an exchange of numbers.

The dating game has changed, and it’s time we all caught up. But is endless scrolling and swiping really going to find you the one? More likely severe thumb fatigue.

That’s where The Inner Circle comes in. A dating app that actually knows it’s an app and does everything it can to get you meeting in real life. The days of numbers on napkins may not be over after all.

Hosted at some of the world’s most desireable venues, The Inner Circle throws exclusive parties brimming with eligible singletons all philandering over cocktails and canapes. Madame X, The Delancey, and the Lido Deck are to name but a few of the NYC locations that these monthly shindigs pop up in. They range from ugly sweater parties to classy rooftop cocktails and always promise great entertainment, delicious food and tunes to keep you dancing into the early hours. You can rub shoulders with other New Yorkers knowing they’re all single and keen to mingle.

It gets better though - by encouraging members to log their favorite hangouts the ‘Spots’ feature becomes your go-to city guide for tried and tested date ideas. You can get to know the city as you enjoy recommendations from like-minded singles - who knows, you might even bump into your next date.

If this wasn’t already awesome enough, You can log your travel plans when you jet off to the next city, meaning other singletons can greet you - and the ‘Spots’ feature means you’ll have all the local haunts at the push of a button.

If you’re a busy, ambitious single then this is the app for you. Each new member is manually screened, meaning everyone is just who they say they are. Catfish - you’ve been DELETED.

You’re probably not going to be single for much longer if you click here.

[VIDEO] TGI Fridays Started Out as a Singles Bar in 1960s New York City

2018-11-26T12:30:00-05:00

TGI Fridays is the kind of cookie-cutter, shopping mall, corporate chain restaurant that New Yorkers tend to avoid, but it wasn't always like this. In this short video from Great Big Story, learn how TGI Fridays started out as the Upper East Side's most popular singles bar in the mid 1960's, long before it evolved into what it is today.

You may know it now as the popular suburban chain restaurant, but back in the day, TGI Fridays was THE PLACE to be if you were young and single in New York City. Alan Stillman, a former perfume salesman, opened the flagship bar and restaurant in 1965 on the Upper East Side. He had no restaurant experience, but sensed a need for an informal place where singles could have a drink and socialize. So yeah. Can we buy you a drink?

Happy Valentine’s Day! Here are the Best New York City Neighborhoods for Dating

2017-02-14T10:00:00-05:00

Happy Valentine's Day! Real-estate search site StreetEasy recently teamed up with dating app Hinge to create this infographic showing the best neighborhoods in New York City for dating. Here's how they compiled the data:

We looked at Hinge data among all NYC-based users in 2016, examining save rates (if users are interested in a person’s profile, they will “save” it, so a higher save rate indicates popularity or desirability; users who save more profiles are deemed “less picky” while users who save fewer profiles are deemed “pickier”), average full conversation count (or “chattiness”), and connection to phone number exchange rate (the rate at which users connect with each other versus the rate at which they exchange phone numbers, indicating a likelihood to meet outside the app).

Of the three boroughs analyzed, here are the top 5 neighborhoods in each:

MANHATTAN
- West Village
- Murray Hill
- Flatiron
- East Village
- Chelsea

BROOKLYN
- Williamsburg
- Brooklyn Heights
- Greenpoint
- Fort Greene
- East Williamsburg

QUEENS
- Astoria
- Hunter’s Point
- Long Island City
- Forest Hills
- Sunnyside
