Dating apps may have changed the game, but The Single Mingle is bringing it back to the basics, and this time, it’s taking over New York City.
The Quintessential Gentleman is excited to announce a partnership with Rochelle Renee, the certified matchmaker and founder behind The Single Mingle DMV, for the exclusive NYC debut of her wildly successful dating event. Dubbed “Single in the City”, this launch party invites Big Apple singles to ditch the apps and meet face-to-face at Manhattan’s stylish Saint Resto Lounge on Thursday, June 26.
If you’ve ever felt burned out by endless DMs or catfished one too many times, this event is for you.

From D.C. to NYC
Launched in February 2023 in Washington, D.C., The Single Mingle DMV was born from a post-pandemic reality where authentic human interaction became rare. Rochelle Renee—matchmaker, wedding officiant, and sociology aficionado—had a bold idea: take dating offline and make it fun again.
In just two years, her concept took off. With over 60,000 singles engaged across her platforms, more than 40 sold-out events, and five confirmed engagements and one marriage sparked by The Single Mingle, Rochelle has become a cultural connector for people craving chemistry beyond a screen.
Now, she’s bringing that same energy to New York City.
What to Expect at the NYC Launch
The Single Mingle NYC Launch Party will be an elevated experience filled with its curated speed dating called “Mingle in Minutes”, intentional conversation, and signature D’USSE’ cocktails. The goal? Genuine connection in a vibe-rich setting—no small talk, no awkward vibes, and definitely no ghosting.
Whether you’re newly single, new to the city, or just over the apps, this is your chance to meet other ambitious, like-minded individuals who are tired of scrolling and ready to vibe.
It’s FREE, but you will have to RSVP.
