A singles night in NYC, step by step

When you book

Pick a singles event

Choose a singles dinner, or a singles coffee where your city runs one. Booking closes 13 hours before, or at midnight the night before if that would fall between midnight and 8:00 am.
Before the dinner

We put the table together

Everyone at the table booked a singles event. We keep a balance of men and women and group people by age band, then book the restaurant.
7:00 pm The start

In person first

You get a sense of someone across a table, from how they laugh to what they order, before any private messages. No one-to-one date to get through, just a table of people to talk to.
Afterward

If you like someone

The group chat stays open, and in the app you can stay connected with anyone from the table. What happens next is up to the two of you.

Safety

Is it safe?

Singles events are at public venues we've vetted, and nobody can message you one to one before you meet. If you report someone, you're never placed with them again.

99%

Over 99% of Timeleft experiences happen without any safety incident, according to the safety framework we published in June 2026.

What members say

The concept of putting a bunch of strangers at a dinner table is brilliant. I wnt to my first one in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and every single person was an individual with their own special personality. We exchanged numbers and plan on getting together soon! I will do this again, soon!

I have gone to six of these dinners in NYC. Most of them have been great.

NYC member · App Store review, June 2026
I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

Questions from singles

When are singles events in NYC?

Singles dinners, some Tuesdays and Fridays at 7:00 pm. Singles coffee, some Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 pm. Booking closes 13 hours before each one, or at midnight the night before if that would fall between midnight and 8:00 am. The dates above are the next ones you can still book.

Where in NYC do singles events happen?

The next ones are in West Village. We book the restaurant, and the app shows you where to go before the evening.

How is this different from speed dating in NYC?

We don't run speed dating, where you get a few minutes with each person. Here you share a whole dinner with a small table of singles, so a conversation has time to go somewhere. Afterward you can stay connected in the app with anyone you got along with.

Who will be at the table?

Other singles who booked the same event. We group people by age band and keep a balance of men and women.

In the last three months, most people at singles events in NYC were in their 30s and early 40s, and about half were women.

Can I go on my own?

Yes. You book on your own and we put the table together, so you don't need to bring anyone.

What does it cost?

You need a Timeleft membership to book, and the app shows its price in your country before you pay anything.

As many events as you like, singles events included. Dinners, coffee, and whatever else runs in your city, all on one membership.

Your own food and drinks. You order what you like and pay the venue yourself.
