Study Says NYC Is The ‘Worst’ City For Dating, And UGH!
Carrie Bradshaw suggested it, and now a study confirmed it: NYC is the worst city for dating, so don’t be hard on yourself if that Hinge meetup felt disastrous.
While our lovely metropolis is chock-full of fantastic first date ideas — a walk through the park! chic bars! botanical gardens! — research from FetishFinder suggests that those looking for love might want to search elsewhere — particularly in Seattle, a.k.a. the best city for dating.
“New York may have the highest population of single individuals, but it’s also the worst city in the U.S. to start dating,” the study suggests.
Using statistics from United States Census Bureau, Google Keyword Planner, and Numbeo, FetishFinder took several factors into consideration when looking at the country’s top 20 biggest cities and their dating criteria:
- The population of single people
- The likelihood of marriage
- The annual divorce rate
- The rate of individuals actively searching for a relationship
- The quality of life
- The cost of living
While we aren’t one to point fingers, especially since we haven’t done the science, we’re willing to bet the cost of living put us in detrimental standings. Another study says NYC is the third most expensive city in the world — not the country, not the continent, but the world — and that rent in NYC is rising a whopping seven times faster than wages. We rest our case!
What are the best cities for dating?
If you’re curious about the locales that understood the assignment and ranked atop of the list, they are:
- Seattle
- Denver
- Dallas
- Indianapolis
- Austin
What are the worst cities for dating?
So, who joined NYC at the bottom of the barrel? Drumroll, please…
- Los Angeles
- Philadelphia
- Chicago
- San Antonio
But science aside, perhaps it’s how you look at things. Let’s not forget that a mere two years ago NYC was voted the city where you’re most likely to meet your soulmate. Things couldn’t have changed that drastically, right? Right!?
If you need us, we’ll be treating ourselves to NYC’s best solo dates, something we know we’ve aced.

Katz’s Deli will be serving a vegetarian pastrami sandwich for one day only
Finally, vegetarians will get to sort of get a taste of one of the most iconic New York sandwiches ever: for one day only, Katz’s Deli will be serving a vegetarian version of its uber-famous pastrami sandwich.
This Saturday, September 28, from noon until 4pm, guests will get to order the limited-time-only dish at Katz’s at 205 East Houston Street on the Lower East Side.
The dish is made with Badger Flame beets, which are actually beets bred entirely for flavor and used instead of the brisket that the sandwich usually features.
In the making of the menu item, the veggie is treated just like the pastrami is in the traditional version of the food: wet-brined, doused in spice rub, smoked, steamed, sliced and stuffed inside deli rye with mustard.
“We’ve been hunting for years for a vegetarian pastrami option, but everything we tried just wasn’t quite right,” Katz’s third-generation owner Jake Dell said to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “Meat substitutes didn’t hold the flavor correctly and were sometimes full of additives anyway. Other vegetable recipes just didn’t hold up in a sandwich form.”
The sandwich is a collaboration between Katz’s’ and chef Dan Barber of Blue Hill. Barber actually also owns “seed to table” company Row 7, the organization behind the development of the Badger Flame beet. Barber will be at the deli to serve the food this weekend.
We haven’t tasted the culinary concoction just yet, but we can’t imagine veggies have ever tasted as good.

Mayor Eric Adams Has Been Indicted: Here’s What That Means For NYC
NYC Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on five federal charges of bribery conspiracy, fraud, and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations on the evening of Wednesday, September 25th. The 57-page indictment was unsealed on Thursday, September 26th.
This news comes on the heels of the federal investigation that the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan has been conducting for the last several months. Its focus, according to The New York Times, was to uncover whether he conspired with the Turkish government for illegal foreign campaign contributions, and whether or not Adams took actions on its behalf.
Despite the document’s contents — some of which states that the Mayor received “free rooms at opulent hotels, free meals at high-end restaurants and free luxurious entertainment while in Turkey”, among other accusations — he plans to combat these accusations.
“I will fight these injustices with every ounce of strength and spirit,” he said on September 25th. “If I’m charged, I know I’m innocent. I will request an immediate trial so New Yorkers can hear the truth.”
NYC Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted: What’s next for NYC?
During a press conference on Thursday, September 26th, Mayor Adams acknowledged that he knew this “unfortunate” and “painful” day would come, but seemingly does not plan to resign, despite calls from the Democratic party for him to do so.
“I ask New Yorkers to hear our defense before making any judgments,” he said.
Additionally, he noted, “From here, my attorneys will take care of the case so I can take care of the city. My day to day will not change.” City workers’ day-to-day will not change, either, per his statement.
On Thursday afternoon, it was revealed that he will appear in federal court Friday, September 27th at noon. If convicted on all counts, he faces the possibility of up to 45 years in prison, per CBS.
“While the mayor is presumed innocent until proven guilty and deserves due process, the board will nonetheless review all relevant information, including but not limited to the indictment, in order to uphold our city’s campaign finance rules and protect taxpayer dollars,” said Frederick Schaffer of NYC’s Campaign Finance Board, according to The New York Times.
What does this mean for New York? Only two mayors in the city’s history have resigned: James Walker in 1932 and William O’Dwyer in 1950, per CBS. Should he resign or be forced to leave office, the next in line to take the spot would be as follows, per The New York City Charter:
- Public Advocate (Jumaane Williams)
- Comptroller (Brad Lander)
This is a developing story. Please check back as more information is revealed.
