AM New York: It's a Date! Ways to Find a Significant Other in the City

AM New York's Tracy Wallach rounded up the city's most innovative ways to meet someone new — and Lock & Key Events made the list.

The good, per AM New York

'The Lock and Key concept allows for the ice to break itself, giving men and women the perfect excuse to approach one another, and an easy exit strategy if no match is made. The evening is light-hearted and fun with its raffles, prizes and no shortage of lock-and-key innuendos.'

The bottom line

'Lock and Key Parties are a low-pressure, relatively inexpensive way to meet a whole lot of people at once. The concept is quirky and different, and whether or not sparks fly, it is definitely worth a shot.'

About 60 to 100 singles attend each New York event, with prizes ranging from bar tabs to white-water rafting trips — plus the coveted 'Locksmith Award' for the night's most prolific matchers.
