Eleven Madison Park
Having Sunday brunch has been a longstanding tradition in New York. Restaurants such as Eleven Madison Park will lay out a variety of food to cater to the different of tastes of people. They serve American or French cuisine. Brunch has always been a good way to meet other singles. Food is a good topic to act as an icebreaker, so you may have opportunities to strike up a conversation.
Oak Room’s Jazz Brunch
At the Oak Room, singles can enjoy their Sunday in NYC by relaxing and listening to jazz music while eating brunch. World class performers have played here including Barbara Carroll.

Walking
Walking is one of the best and cost effective activities for single people. Sunday is a day that offers a different atmosphere than any other day. You can walk the Brooklyn Bridge, explore the spectacular skyline of the South Street Seaport and the city’s surrounding areas. Many of the roads in Central Park are closed to traffic on Sunday and you can wander through them, while viewing the skyscrapers.
Single people can find many activities to do on the weekend in NYC. You don’t have to sit alone at home watching a movie and eating popcorn. Go out and explore NYC through brunch, music shows or by simply walking through the city’s parks.
