View Upcoming Queens And Nearby Events
Hi, I am Jay. I started running events back in 2003 and I still show up with a box of name tags and match cards. If you searched for Queens speed dating, you are probably looking for something real, not more swiping and guessing if people are who they say they are.
Most of the Queens crowd comes from Bayside, northeast Queens, and nearby neighborhoods, and many of them also join Long Island, NYC, and Westchester events. Over 86 married couples have come out of these events, plus a lot of long term relationships and friendships.
At A Glance
- Where: Bayside, nearby Queens spots, plus close by NYC and Long Island venues
- Format: 8-15 mini dates per event
- Ages: Grouped by similar age ranges
- Hosts: A real person guiding the whole night
- Matches: Emailed in about 12-24 hours
|
Quick Facts For Queens Singles
- Dress code: Smart casual works best
- Arrive: 10-20 minutes early for check in
- Food and drinks: Available for purchase at most venues
- ID check: Yes, to keep age groups accurate
|
Quick Answers For Queens Speed Dating
Where do Queens speed dating events take place?
Most Queens singles either come to events in Bayside or hop over to nearby venues in Long Island or Manhattan. It is usually an easy drive or train ride.
Do I have to live in Queens to attend?
No. Many people live in Queens but others come from Nassau County, Manhattan, or the Bronx. If the location works for you and you are in the age range, you are welcome.
How does speed dating work at these events?
You will meet 8-15 people in your age group in a series of short conversations. You mark yes or no on a match sheet and matches are emailed the next day.
Are these events only for dating?
Most people come hoping for dating and relationships, but a lot of people also walk away with new friends and a bigger social circle.
Do you really check IDs?
Yes. IDs are checked at the door so the 30s, 40s, and 50s age ranges are accurate and fair.
Why Queens Singles Like These Events
Queens is in a great spot. You can reach Long Island, Manhattan, or Westchester without a huge trek. That means more choices for events and more people to meet, while still staying local enough that it is realistic to see each other again.
The format is structured but not stiff. You sit, talk for a few minutes, mark your card, and move on. There is no pressure to come up with the perfect line because everyone is there for the same reason you are.
How A Typical Night Works
- Pick an event that fits your age group and location.
- Show up a little early, check in, and get your name tag and match sheet.
- Rotate through a series of short, easy conversations.
- Mark yes or no after each person.
- Matches are sent by email, usually within 12-24 hours, including one way matches where they picked you even if you did not pick them.
Queens Plus Nearby Options
I do not run Queens events every week, so a lot of Queens singles join events in nearby areas too. People from Bayside, Fresh Meadows, Whitestone and other parts of Queens often come to:
- NYC speed dating events in Midtown and near Penn Station
- Long Island events in Nassau County
- Westchester events when the schedule fits
If you are flexible on location, you will have more dates to pick from and more people to meet.

People Also Ask About Queens Speed Dating
How much does Queens speed dating cost?
Pricing depends on the venue and age group, but it is usually similar to the NYC and Long Island events. Check the schedule above for exact prices.
How many people will I meet?
Plan on meeting somewhere between 8 and 15 people in your age group, depending on turnout.
Can I come alone?
Yes. Most people arrive solo. The host helps with introductions and keeps things moving so you do not feel stuck or left out.
What should I wear?
Think smart casual. Something you would wear out to a nice dinner or casual night out.
What if I do not get a match?
It happens once in a while, but most people get at least one match. At the very least you had a real night out instead of another night on the apps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all events in Queens itself?
No. Some events are held in Queens, especially Bayside, but many Queens singles also attend nearby events in Manhattan and Nassau County.
Do you mix age groups?
Events are listed with clear age ranges. You should be within about two years of the posted age range so it feels fair for everyone.
Is there a drink minimum?
Some venues have a one or two item minimum. The event details will spell that out so there are no surprises.
Can I switch to a different date if something comes up?
Reach out to me as early as possible and I will let you know what options there are. I always try to be reasonable within the rules of the venue.
From Jay
Queens has always been a big part of my events. A lot of people from Bayside and the surrounding neighborhoods have become regulars and many have met serious relationships through these nights.
If you are in Queens and on the fence about coming out, pick one event and give it a shot. You might meet someone great, or at the very least you will get out, laugh a little, and remember what it feels like to meet people face to face again.
If you are not sure which event is best for you, you can always call or text and I will talk it through with you.
See you soon,
Jay
