Meeting People Can Be Easy

It's hard for a loser to meet people in any city, but in New York, forget about it. The good bars are too loud and crowded to make a move and, as our Cassanova Correspondant, Varun, reported previously, the subway system seems to be built to prevent flirtation.

That's why we are excited to read about a small bar that provides a safe zone for meeting people one night a week. Every Friday night, the Big Six Lounge on the Bowery hosts an hour of free jello shots and conversation. Employees at the bar will take the initiative to introduce you around to everyone at the bar. It's like a singles night where you don't have to come up with an opening line (though you will need to say something eventually). What do you have to lose? Everyone is there to meet people like you. Worst case scenario: you just get free jello shots and go somewhere else.
