Mingle by the bar, enjoy live poetry readings, and let the energy unfold while matchmakers curate connections in real time.
The Matching Experience
Throughout the evening, matchmakers will invite select guests to the downstairs speakeasy for a 10-minute semi-private conversation with a curated match.
Each pairing begins with a guided icebreaker or game—then you’re left to explore the connection naturally.
We bring together singles who are exploring fresh ways to meet people and expand their social circles with conversations that spark authentic interactions, and experiences which create memorable moments.
Who is Eros Events?
It is no secret that New York is often ranked one of the worst cities for dating in America. Studies show that arranged marriages have a divorce rate in the single digits while US “love marriages” have an average divorce rate of 40%. Is there something to be said about curating a connection?
The questions used for icebreakers during match meets are curated from Arthur Aron’s much referenced ‘36 Questions That Lead to Love’. Some questions may also be based on our favorite relationship therapist Esther Perel’s games which are also aimed at building intimacy. Once matched, guests will receive a card with several more questions to keep the conversation flowing.
Yes, you can bring your own mask within the dress code guidelines.

It is recommended for guests to arrive between 5 and 5:30pm. From 5:30-8pm, our poetry talent will intermittently deliver short pieces to stoke the romance while the matchmakers rotate couples to the downstairs speakeasy. In the speakeasy, matchmakers will break the ice with questions or a game before leaving couples to chat for 10-15 minutes. Guests will be given a card with additional questions to keep the conversation going once back upstairs in the bar area. All guests will be matched a minimum of once, time permitting.
