If you are looking for the best places to meet girls in New York City and a dating guide for this massive metropolis then you are in the right spot. The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island will all be covered here.
The good news is that you will never be lacking for things to do here. You can go out at any time on any day and always find a good place to try and pick up single women in your area or even a fine date spot.
The bad news is that you might have to wait a really long time to get in and spend a whole lot of money on your night out. But that is what this city is all about and if that bothered you then you probably wouldn’t be here.
When it comes to trying to meet single girls in New York City most of the best nightclubs in town are found in Manhattan. This is the prime real estate where some of the sexiest women in the world go out to see and be seen.
If you have the money to get into the club and the game to pull one of the models then you could be in for the night of your life. But most guys can’t afford that scene too often, and hooking up with a model isn’t the easiest thing to do either.
Luckily there are plenty of cheaper singles bars around town that are still packed with sexy ladies who are much more attainable. After we cover the great singles nightlife this city has to offer we will then mention some good day game spots, those aren’t hard to find either but it can be a bit tricky which we will get into later.

Obviously since it is the 21st Century online dating is going to deserve a mention. If you aren’t using the internet to help you meet local girls and get laid then you aren’t maximizing your chances and are ignoring one of the best resources a guy could ever find.
Once we finish talking about where to pick up women we will move on to the dating guide section. Whether you are looking for a romantic bar, restaurant, a cheap date idea, dates in the day, or some form of entertainment for the two of you to do we have plenty of suggestions coming up as this is our longest post on any city in America.
Nightclubs & Pick Up Bars
The first thing we want to point out is that in a city like this one the hottest nightclubs or best pick up spots can change quickly. One may be ‘trendy’ one month and closed the next. We will do our best to keep up with the current nightlife scene, add new spots, and delete the closed ones but here that can be difficult.
We will go through the districts in alphabetical order, lets start with the Bronx.
Pick Up Girls In The Bronx
If you are looking to go out and pick up girls in the Bronx there are plenty of singles bars you can visit. Some of our favorites would be:
- Skyline Bar & Lounge Bx at 1511 Wilkinson Ave
- Illusions Hookah & Mixology Lounge at 3229 Westchester Ave
- Mingles Restaurant & Lounge at 4012 Boston Rd
- Bronx Beer Hall at 2344 Arthur Ave
- The Punch Bowl at 5820 Broadway
- Evo Cocktail Lounge at 1306 Unionport Rd
Where Singles Can Party In Brooklyn
It wasn’t long ago that Brooklyn was the new cool place to be in this city. Lots of young entrepreneurs were moving in, there was a vibrant singles nightlife scene, and many would tell you it was the best place for a guy to get laid in this city.
Of course in this day and age many people hate everything, and now Brooklyn is considered too hipster and not near as cool as it once was. Is this really true? Who knows, but we still think it is a great spot to try and pick up single girls in your area, there are plenty of awesome bars here like:
- Mood Ring at 1260 Myrtle Ave
- Barcade at 148 West 24th St
- House of Yes at 2 Wyckoff Ave
- Skinny Dennis at 152 Metropolitan Ave
- Bembe at 81 S 6th St
- Black Flamingo at 168 Borinquen Pl
Just stroll around Williamsburg any day or night and you should see plenty of cute girls that you can try to hook up with.
Best Nightclubs In Manhattan
We aren’t going to say it is cheap to go out and try to pick up girls in New York City at bars in any bureau, but if you are on a budget stay out of Manhattan. This is one of the most expensive places in the world, your wallet will probably be empty by the time you finish the night.
With that said you can find the best nightclubs in NYC here and plenty of good bars as well so getting a hotel here would be best if you can afford it. For good bar districts head to the areas around St Marks Place between First Ave and Ave A, and Ninth Street between Third and Second in the East Village. Some specific singles bars in Manhattan and around the East Village we really like are:
- Solas at 232 E 9th St # 1
- Hotel Chantelle at 92 Ludlow St
- The Wren at 344 Bowery
- Belfry at 222 E 14th St
- 13th Step at 149 2nd Ave
- The Dead Rabbit at 30 Water St
- The Back Room at 102 Norfolk St
Some good bars in the Upper East Side are:
- Penrose at 1590 2nd Ave
- Stumble Inn at 1454 2nd Ave
- Dorrian’s at 1616 2nd Ave
If you prefer to try to pick up girls at New York City’s hottest nightclubs then visit:
- Le Bain at The Standard, High Line, 848 Washington St
- Avenue at 116 10th Ave
- 1 Oak at 453 W 17th St
- PH-D Lounge at 355 W 16th St
- The Blond at 11 Howard St
- Lavo at 39 E 58th St
- Marquee at 289 10th Ave
- The INKwell at 760 8th Ave

- Paradise Club at 20 Times Square, 701 7th Ave
- Musica Club NYC at 637 W 50th St
- Electric Room at 355 W 16th St
If you plan to do a lot of clubbing try to make friends with a promoter (or give them some big tips) to see if they can make your life a little cheaper and easier in the future. Either way it is probably best to go out early as you can avoid the longer lines and sometimes get in for cheaper.
Trying To Hook Up In Queens
It is pretty much impossible for anywhere to follow up the great singles nightlife in Manhattan, but if you want to try to hook up with hot girls in Queens visit these bars:
- Tropix Bar & Lounge at 9532 Queens Blvd, Rego Park
- Donovan’s Pub at 57-24 Roosevelt Ave, Woodside
- Leaf Bar & Lounge at 133-42 39th Ave, Roof, Flushing
- Lic Bar at 45-58 Vernon Blvd in Long Island City
- Dutch Kill’s Bar at 24-27 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City
Pick Up Spots In Staten Island
Lastly we will cover Staten Island. The great thing about trying to meet girls in New York is that no matter what area of the city you are in there are always going to be lots of singles around you, Staten Island is no exception:
- Craft House at 60 Van Duzer St
- Above Rooftop at 1100 South Ave
- 1001 Nights Cafe & Lounge at 2025 Richmond Ave

While not in this city there are more opportunities to try and pick up women in Newark as well.
2 Chat With New York City Girls Online
This city can be great for singles but it can also be a pain in the ass in some ways. So many people and such expensive prices can start to weigh on you after awhile.
It is much easier and more relaxing to log on to a dating site and chat with girls near you instead of having to go out and try to pick them up. Not only does it save you money but it is also a whole lot faster, you can message more girls in your area in a matter of hours then you could approach in a month.
There are many sites out there that can help you find your soul mate to settle down with. They are easy to find, but we are going to tell you about one that is more about hooking up. You surely have seen Adult Friend Finder around the internet and wondered if it was worthwhile or not right?
In some cities there aren’t many users, but this isn’t most cities and this one is loaded with singles. There are literally thousands of New York City girls looking to hook up on Adult Friend Finder. They don’t want a husband, they don’t want to move in, they want to get laid and are looking for guys to help them with that problem. Does that sound like something you could do for them?

- Spin Ping Pong Bar at 48 E 23rd St in Manhattan
Spin can be a fun spot for a day date as well. Just know that after dark and on weekends the raise the rates to rent a ping pong table, so it isn’t as budget friendly during peak hours.

- Gotham Comedy Club at 208 W 23rd St

You may want to walk around Broadway and look for a specific show that is playing now that interests you.
Day Date Ideas
Then if you are looking for some more good day date ideas any of these should do the trick:

Another fun place to go on a sunny day would be the Bronx Zoo. Deep Tanks Studio is only held on the 2nd Saturday of each month and can be good for a date or as a place to look for single girls.
On Saturdays from 11am to 6pm you can also hit up the Smorgasburg Market in Williamsburg which is loaded with all kinds of great food. A weekend getaway to Atlantic City could be a lot of fun for the two of you.
