Speed Dating in Newark
As New Jersey's largest city and a true transit and cultural hub, Newark is packed with interesting singles — but a big, busy city can make it hard to actually meet them. NJ First Dates changes that with fun, professionally run speed dating events where you'll meet 10 to 15 local singles face-to-face in one relaxed evening.
Meet Newark Singles
From the Ironbound's celebrated restaurants to the energy around the Prudential Center, Newark knows how to do a night out. Our events gather the city's friendly, ambitious singles for a lively round of five-minute mini-dates — the easiest way to meet someone new close to home.

Newark draws a diverse, driven crowd, and our events reflect it: warm, genuine locals in your age range who came to meet someone in person rather than swipe. Every night is organised by age so you're always among people at a similar stage of life.
Great Newark Venues
We host at welcoming lounges and restaurants around downtown and the Ironbound, chosen for atmosphere and easy conversation — a fun night out in a city with real character.
How It Works
Reserve your spot, show up, and enjoy a series of five-minute mini-dates. Afterward you pick your favourites online and we connect the mutual matches within 24 hours. No pressure, no games, just an easy evening.
