About this event

Welcome to our in-person Speed Dating for Gay Men 25 and Older I NYC Speed Dating! Join us at Chelsea hotspot Bar Avant at Olly Olly Market for a fun and exciting evening and line yourself up a date for actual Valentine's Day!

Looking to make connections? This event is perfect for you! Meet other single gay men aged 25 and older in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Get ready to mingle, chat, and maybe even line up a first date coming out of our speed dating event.

Here’s what to expect:

Each dater must make at least one food or drink purchase to support our host venue.

Efficiency Meets Romance: We’ve ditched the old-school pamphlets and pencils. Instead, we’re powering matches with our partner, SpeedMatchApp. No app downloads required—just a simple link click!

Brace yourselves for a whirlwind of up to (15) 3-5 minute speed dates with other single gay men ages 25+. Remember, our hosts are like human Cupids—working overtime to sprinkle romance and awkward laughter into your evening.

Pre-Event Prep: Before the big day, you'll receive an email prompting you to create a matching profile on SpeedMatchApp (takes 2 minutes). Think of it as your digital wingman/woman, making life easier for you!

Charged Up: Charge that cell phone, my friend! At the event, your phone becomes your secret weapon. As you “date,” you’ll use it to select your matches in real time.

Match Magic: Feeling a connection? Fantastic! You’ve got options baby! Select “friend,” or “date." or "none." And guess what? If the feeling’s mutual, the universe (well, our servers) will work their magic. By the time you get home from the event, you’ll receive a text with all your sizzling matches.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make new connections & potentially find your perfect match!

Bar Avant is bright and colorful, a focal point of the market, offering a wide selection of aperitifs and low ABV cocktails – a perfect space to take in the hustle and bustle of Olly Olly.
