As the financial capital of the world, New York City is home to a well-endowed dating pool. There are more single men living in metro New York than women, making every night Ladies’ Night. And, where New York is the capital of capitalism, there is a high likelihood of finding more than your Average Joe. The smart metropolitan girl that hangs out in the poshest places or signs up for a Sugar Daddy dating site will likely attract a man in the financial sector with considerable wealth and a Pent House in the Upper West Side, a Connecticut country house, a house in the Hamptons, or all of the above. Every Holly Golightly has breakfast served on a platter to match her necklace. 

 This city is the very crucible of the American melting pot. From Harlem to Bed-Stuy, New York stands apart from the rest of the United States in its cultural attributes and colorful people. New York’s diversity presents the opportunity for dating either within ethnic lines or crossing borders with interracial relationships. The City’s diversity also gives couples an array of activities to explore together, including salsa or tango lessons, hip-hop battles, Italian festivals and Szechuan cuisine. 

 The big city affords a romantic anonymity where couples can be alone amongst the busy masses. This privacy gives couples a rare chance to enjoy one another’s company without fear of intrusion by an acquaintance – as in Small Town, USA – and the sense of intimacy is thus heightened. 

Beyond the extensive dating pool and the close privacy of New York’s hubbub, the City’s endless streets are home to inexhaustible entertainment. The shopping experience is unparalleled the world over. A couple will never run out of shops and boutiques to visit and fine items to buy. You’ll find Liz Claiborne, Donna Karan, Oscar de la Renta, Niketown, Versace, Dior, and, of course, Saks in the heart of Manhattan in the Fashion Center. High fashion is challenged by the vintage shops and radical boutiques of the recently reinvented Brooklyn borough of Williamsburg. If shopping is not a primary interest, couples can share their taste and knowledge of art galleries and music venues throughout the city to suit every taste. 

After a tiring day of shopping, a favorite New York City restaurant is the perfect antidote for resting weary feet. Sit amongst the stars at Robert Deniro’s Tribeca Grill, try Greenwich Village for vegan specialties, or create your own real-life Sex in the City scenario at The Cutting Room owned by Chris Noth – a/k/a Mr. Big. Of course, if Sugar Daddy hasn’t gotten around to passing papers on that apartment overlooking Central Park, there are a plethora of boutique hotels where a couple can retire… or get carried away.
