New York City

Dating in New York.

The hardest dating city in the world, made simpler.

New York dating is a second job: endless options, zero signal. Kismat restores the signal: you pick your intent, you only see people who picked the same, and profiles verify with a live selfie. The important things are free.

Good places for a first date in New York

  • The High Line

    A walk above the streets from Gansevoort to Hudson Yards. Built-in direction, built-in things to say.

  • Central Park

    The Mall to Bethesda Terrace: the classic for a reason. Public, pretty and easy to extend.

  • Brooklyn Bridge Park

    The skyline from across the river, piers to wander and coffee in DUMBO.
