July 11, 10AM - 10PM Eastern

Manhattan
New York, NY, USA

On Saturday July 11th, we'll explore Manhattan's most memorable makeout spots, from secret gardens and rooftops to iconic landmarks with dreamy vistas.

Note that making out is neither required nor necessarily encouraged during this daylong city wander, but you'll come away with ample ideas and itineraries for future fraternizing, and by all means feel free to share stories of snoggings of yore and to suggest additional recs along the trek. If you can convince any ecologist/sociologist friends to join us, maybe they can help us uncover the intricacies undergirding urban dating ecologies! This hike celebrates 2026's Week of Visibility of Non-Monogamy. While monogamy works great for most people most of the time, it's nice to celebrate all the nontraditional relationship styles and approaches that enable people to choose and cultivate the best relationship configurations for them!
