In this city of constant entertainment, busy lives, and millions of available singles, it can be all too easy to get caught up in the NYC dating whirlwind. Sure, it’s an easy town to have fun in – but if you’re looking for something real, the going can get tough. If you’re finding that your tales from the front lines of New York dating are providing nothing but wryly funny stories to tell at dinner parties, then it’s time to get smart about the places you choose to look for love and meet NYC singles who are genuinely compatible. And that means finding a dating site designed to create lasting, meaningful connections.
With as many as one-in-three long term matches in the US now beginning online,1 a smart choice is to turn to a dating site to find a partner. Naturally though, this comes with a caveat: the type of partner that you find will often depend on the kind of dating website that you choose.
If you’re looking for a long-term partner who is truly compatible with your lifestyle, personality and relationship goals, then EliteSingles is the right New York dating site for you. Our thoughtful matchmaking process not only streamlines your search, it can connect you with the type of NYC singles you actually want to be dating - single men and women who are professional, intelligent and ready for lasting love.

It's strange isn't it? Even in one of the world's biggest cities, home to literally millions of singles, finding love is still really difficult. Difficult, but not impossible - at least when you have the right dating site by you side! EliteSingles is just such a site. We can help connect you with interesting, relationship-minded New York singles.
You can search through profiles using our 'Have you met...' feature, and for true efficiency, our intelligent matchmaking streamlines the dating experience by picking out 3-7 matches for you daily so you don't waste time trawling through endless incompatible profiles.

It’s a New York city stereotype: the urbanite who is so in love with Manhattan that they only leave the island for emergencies (and certainly not for dates!). Yet, to stick to the familiar means missing out on some great New York dating opportunities and places to meet singles.
Brooklyn is just one part of the city that is full to bursting with great dates, from coffee to cocktails. If you’re pulling out all the stops, try The River Café: the food here is exquisite and perfectly matched by the oh-so-romantic views across the water. For a more low-key (and unusual) first meeting, The Waystation is ideal: it’s home to live music, excellent drinks and a certain blue box…that’s right, it is Doctor Who themed.
Of course, there are plenty of amazing NYC dating ideas to be had wherever you are in the city – including the more well-known spots. In fact, Ella Fitzgerald may have been onto something when she sang about turning ‘’Manhattan into an isle of joy.’’
In the song, Ella sings about all the romantic, touristy things she loves to do: from Central Park to Coney Island. They’re cliché, sure, even a bit cheesy. And yet, hardly any true New Yorkers have tried them. So shake things up! Instead of standing in line for yet another ‘secret’ speakeasy, do something classic. Rent boats at the Loeb Boathouse or make it a mission to eat at Katz’s Delicatessen. Be silly. Put the fun back into New York dating.
What’s a first date without a touch of romance? To fully make the most of it in full New York fashion, you’re going to have to get really high – by heading to one of New York’s hundreds of amazing rooftop bars, gardens or romantic NYC restaurants.
230 Fifth is one of these; a rooftop paradise that boasts simply incredible views of that New York skyline. It’s an ideal date venue no matter what the weather – their gigantic (yet cozy) umbrellas are ideal to shelter under. Alternatively, try the Cantor Roof Garden Bar at the Met (open May – Oct). Starting your date in the iconic museum and winding your way to the picturesque rooftop means enjoying true romance, New York dating style.
