Meet, mix and mingle with other singles for a "Date Walk" at one of New York City’s hottest attractions – Little Island! Located at Pier 55 on Manhattan’s Hudson River Park, Little Island is a floating park full of greenery, open spaces, viewpoints, and more.
Our "Sunset Singles Strolls" are an extremely popular way to meet others in a safe, outdoor setting. Enjoy a fun way to meet others while getting fresh air and exercise. This event very casual and non-awkward + our host will help to make introductions.
During the walk, you will randomly be paired with other singles in the beginning then rotate at designated times so that you get to meet everyone participating. 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. Once the walk is over, you're welcome to hang out and exchange contact info with others.
Experience all the components of the "island", nestled among flowers, trees and shrubs, along with dazzling views of other portions of Hudson River Park, New York City and the Hudson River. The landscape is diverse, with green lawns, small slopes, and winding walkways.
