Most singles nights are a room full of strangers and a lot of guessing. Nonna’s are different: everyone takes a short compatibility quiz first, so when you walk in, you already know who you’re most likely to click with.
Answer a quick compatibility quiz when you RSVP. At the event, Nonna shows you exactly who you match with most — no cold approaches, no small-talk roulette.
Match Nights at NYC bars, lounges, and event spaces — balanced rooms, verified guests, and a game built to get you talking to the right people fast.
From Astoria to Brooklyn to Manhattan, our events are inclusive by default — for singles of all races, religions, and cultures.
New York is full of single people and somehow still hard to meet anyone. Bars are loud, apps are exhausting, and traditional singles mixers throw fifty strangers in a room and wish you luck. Nonna fixes the part everyone hates — the guessing. Before you arrive, every guest completes a short compatibility quiz across values, lifestyle, and personality. When you walk in, the app quietly shows you who in that room you actually match with, so your night starts with real conversations instead of awkward opening lines.
It takes about two minutes to get set up. You create a free account, answer the compatibility quiz, and RSVP to an event near you. On the night, you check in at the door and Nonna reveals your top matches in the room — the people whose answers line up with yours. Many events include Match Hunt, a light game that nudges you to actually go find and meet those people, so nobody spends the night frozen against a wall. You leave having met people worth seeing again, not a pile of business cards.
We’re building Match Nights across the city — starting with Astoria and greater Queens, and expanding into Brooklyn and Manhattan as we confirm venues. Every event is a balanced room by design, so you never walk into a lopsided crowd. If you run a bar, lounge, or event space and want to fill a slow night, you can host a Match Night with us — we bring the matchmaking and the crowd.
Nonna is an inclusive singles app for every background and every intention. Whether you’re looking for something serious or just tired of meeting no one, you’re welcome here. Religion, ethnicity, and culture are optional details you control — filters if you want them, never gates. If you’re not going to a specific event yet, you can still meet compatible singles in New York through the app any day of the week. The events are just where it gets real, in the same room, on the same night.
Joining Nonna and RSVPing to events is free during our founding period. Some venue events may charge a small door or unlock fee, but our launch singles nights in NYC are free entry.
No — that’s the point. You come on your own, and Nonna tells you who in the room is most compatible with you, so you always have someone worth talking to.
All kinds — every age within our range, every background, and people looking for everything from something serious to simply meeting new people. Nonna is an inclusive singles app, not a niche one.
