NJ Singles Day Trip to NYC: Soulmate Photobooth, Dancing & Village Stroll

**One train ride. A whole day in the city. And you don't have to bring anyone.** This is a **singles day trip from New Jersey into New York City** on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. We meet at Newark Penn Station, ride in together, and spend the day doing three genuinely fun things with a group of people who all showed up for the same reason: to meet someone in real life instead of on an app. No icebreaker circles. No name tags. No one making you introduce yourself to the room. Just a good day out where meeting people happens naturally. *** **☕ 10:00 AM — Meet at Newark Penn Station** Main concourse, by the NJ Transit departure board. I'll be posting what I will be wearing on the day before — look for me. Come at 9:50 if you're nervous; I'll be there early and we'll talk before anyone else shows up. *We leave at 10:20 sharp. Please be on time — we can't hold the group.* **🚆 10:20 AM — Into the city together** **\- Transit to New York Penn Station\, about 20 minutes\,** Buy your ticket before you get there so we're not all in line at once. We ride together, which means the awkward part is over before we even arrive. **📸 11:00 AM — The Soulmate Photobooth** **The Missed Connections Booth — outside Santo Taco, 94 University Place at E 12th St, Union Square, Manhattan.** You scan a QR code, answer a short compatibility quiz, and step into the booth. It prints two strips: one of you, and one of the stranger the algorithm picked as your match. **$10.** It's the best icebreaker in New York. By the time we walk away, everyone's comparing strips and laughing, and nobody's a stranger anymore. **🌮 12:30 PM — Lunch around Union Square** Santo Taco is right there, and there's everything else within two blocks — sit-down, quick, veggie, whatever you're in the mood for. **We can stop by whenever. This is just tentative.** **🚶🏽‍♀️ 2:00 PM — Stroll through Greenwich Village** Down through **Washington Square Park**, then into the **West Village** — the brownstones, the little streets, the sidewalk musicians. Easy pace, lots of stopping, lots of talking. This is the part where the real conversations happen. About 2 miles total, all flat, and we stop whenever people want to. **💃🏽 5:00 PM — Dancing**\- TBA\. **No partner needed. No experience needed.** If you haven't danced in fifteen years, you're in good company — half of us haven't either. Come for one song and stay for six. **🌙 8:00 PM — Head home, or stay out** We'll walk back toward the train together around 8. Stay later if the night's going well — you're a grown adult, nobody's checking. *** **Who this is for** Single adults **21 and over** who want to meet people face to face. Our crowd is a real mix, and it usually lands around 25+.The vibe is grown, warm, and easygoing — good conversation and good music, not a college bar night. **Come alone.** Almost everyone does. That's the entire point. **What it costs** Free to RSVP. You cover your own day: No hidden fees, nothing collected up front, no upsell. **Good to know** * We're walking about 2–3 miles across the day, all flat. Wear shoes you'd walk a city in. * **Bring Cash** * There's alcohol at the dance venue, and **absolutely no pressure to drink**. Plenty of us won't be. * Rain or shine. If the weather turns, the stroll becomes a longer lunch and we go dance early. * Bring a portable charger. You'll take more photos than you think. **Important Policies** **Weather & Rain Date Policy:** This event may be postponed or rescheduled due to rain, severe weather, unsafe conditions, or circumstances beyond the organizers’ control.

Renaissance Fair

Please rsvp and if you haven' yet, join our brand new community where all the new trips will be announced first. [https://chat.whatsapp.com/E7N48SpiIUR11tIpZ5WtBx](https://chat.whatsapp.com/E7N48SpiIUR11tIpZ5WtBx) Join The Active Culture for a day of stepping back in time at the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, NY. For one day, the woods of Sterling Forest are transformed into a 16th-century English village filled with costumed characters, knights, pirates, musicians, performers, artisans, pubs, games, and plenty of food and drinks. We'll spend the day wandering through the village, watching the famous **jousting tournament**, catching live performances, checking out the huge marketplace of handmade goods, and probably getting pulled into a few ridiculous games or conversations with the characters along the way. You can come in regular clothes or get into the spirit and dress up—either way, people-watching alone is half the fun. We will meet in the city and travel together (transportation provided). The cost of the trip is $115 and it includes tickets to the Fair. Please rsvp and if you haven' yet, join our brand new community where all the new trips will be announced first.

Expect a security screening — normal bags are fine, no glass bottles, sealed clear plastic water bottles only. Outside food and drink is NOT allowed inside Edge **12:30 PM — EDGE NYC / LUNCH or SNACK at the CAFE** Your ticket covers the whole journey. It starts on Level 4 with seven indoor immersive installations — Prism, Pulse, Skyrise, Reflections, Kaleidoscope, Infinite City, and Crystal Cave. Expect to spend 30-60 minutes here depending on how much you explore. Then a 52-second elevator ride to Level 100 and the outdoor sky deck — the highest in the Western Hemisphere, about 1,100 feet up. Highlights are the glass floor, the angled glass walls you can lean into, the Skyline Seats, and 360-degree views. **LUNCH AT THE TOP: Skyline Bar & Café is on Level 100,** walk-up, no reservation needed. This is our lunch stop and we're building real time in for it — plan to sit down and eat properly rather than grabbing something on the move. If heights are a concern: the seven indoor installations are the bulk of the experience and none of them require looking out a window. You can do the whole indoor journey, step onto the deck briefly or not at all, and skip the glass floor entirely — it's a spot you walk past, not something you have to cross. **2:30 PM — BOARD THE HIGH LINE AT 10TH AVE & 30TH ST** Short walk south from the Edge exit. Stairs and an elevator at this entrance. We'll stay on the High Line the entire way down to 16th Street — about three quarters of a mile. On a weekend afternoon with a group and stops, realistically 45-55 minutes. The path narrows to near single-file in places and this is its busiest window, so we'll go at whatever pace the crowd allows. The High Line is a park built on an abandoned elevated freight rail line. You'll see the original tracks embedded in the walkway throughout. WHAT TO LOOK FOR ALONG THE WAY: The High Line Plinth (at our entrance, on the Spur at 30th St) A dedicated platform for major rotating sculpture commissions. Whatever's up there is the current headline installation. The Wildflower Field (through the high 20s) The densest and most naturalistic planting on the park. This section deliberately recreates the self-seeded landscape that grew wild on the abandoned tracks and inspired the design. The 26th Street Viewing Spur Easy to miss. A steel frame cut into the railing that turns the avenue below into a framed picture. Worth stopping for. The 23rd Street Lawn The only real patch of turf on the High Line, with seating. Good spot to let everyone catch up if we've spread out. 10th Avenue Square & Overlook (17th St) An amphitheater built into the deck with bleacher seating and a glass wall looking straight down 10th Avenue. On a clear day you can see the Statue of Liberty from the top row. Best five-minute sit on the route. **3:15 PM — EXIT AT 16TH ST, ARRIVE CHELSEA MARKET** Stairs and an elevator at the 16th Street exit, which puts us right at the market's door. Chelsea Market is a food hall in a former Nabisco factory (this is where the Oreo was invented). Since we'll have had lunch at the Edge, this is a browse-and-snack stop, not a meal. Wander the stalls, pick up something small, and save room for the ice cream later. Los Tacos No. 1 — the crowd favorite, line moves fast The Lobster Place — raw bar and seafood Seed + Mill — halva and tahini soft serve Li-Lac Chocolates — NYC's oldest chocolate house Artists & Fleas — vintage and handmade goods in the back Plan to eat and browse until about 4:00 **4:00 PM — HEAD TO THE SUBWAY** Walk east on 16th to 8th Avenue, then down to the 14th St station. About 8 minutes. Take the A or C train DOWNTOWN two stops to Spring Street, then about a 3-minute walk east to 558 Broadway. **4:15 PM — MUSEUM OF ICE CREAM** 558 Broadway, SoHo. Twelve-plus interactive installations across three floors, unlimited ice cream samples as you go, a three-story indoor slide, a pink subway car, and the famous Sprinkle Pool. This is dessert! Unlimited ice cream samples are included as you work through the installations, so arrive with room. Plan on about an hour. Wear something you don't mind getting a little sticky, and note that the Sprinkle Pool requires taking your shoes off. **ABOUT 5:30 PM — HEAD HOME** Walk to the Prince Street station and take the N or R UPTOWN to 34th St-Herald Square, then walk west to Penn Station. About 15 minutes total. There's no hard end time — anyone who wants to peel off earlier or stick around SoHo for dinner afterward is welcome to. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- WHAT TO BRING \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \- Comfortable walking shoes\. We're covering about 2 miles\. \- Your ticket confirmations on your phone \- A photo ID \- Sealed water in a CLEAR PLASTIC bottle if you want to bring one into Edge. No glass bottles — they'll be confiscated. \- Sunscreen and a hat\. The High Line has very little shade and the Edge sky deck is fully exposed.

Core Body Boot Camp

Wake up. Work out. DONE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KKltxVko4w This is a core strength workout. We do boot camp style exercises, so think pushups, situps, planks, squats, burpees, etc. There's a lot of smiles and laughing involved, too... (and the high fives will come back as we leave the COVID era behind!) Not sure how to do burpees? Pike jumps? Dragon Pushups? That's fine! We'll teach you. This is an awesome way to rock your body and get fit fast. We welcome all fitness levels! Even if you have not worked out in years we want you to join us. Working out with fun, encouraging people in a group setting is better than trying to do this all on your own. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME!
