Sunday
The Eagle Bar Beer Blast singles fest is more toned down than down and dirty: It may take place at New York’s favorite leather bar, but on these nights, the core audience includes just about every all-American gay boy in town. “Sunday has an entirely different crowd than the rest of the week,” says reveler Will Carpenter. “All your buddies who are single get together and hit the Eagle.” And with pints, Cuervo and Jäger shots for $3 each, you’d be crazy to stay home.
Eagle Bar, 554 W 28th St between Tenth and Eleventh Aves (646-473-1866, eaglenyc.com). 5pm–midnight, no cover.
We know, ladies—you thought yoga classes weren’t a great place to meet dudes. The exception to the rule is at Yoga to the People, which has an impressive amount of testosterone in regular attendance. Try the 90-minute class at noon, or go all-out romantic at the candlelit 60-minute classes at night. Downward dogs are far sexier without overhead lighting.
Yoga to the People, 12 St. Marks Pl between Second and Third Aves, No. 2R (917-573-9642, yogatothepeople.com). Noon, 7, 8:30pm; suggested donation $10.
It’s Sunday in the park with George—or Quincy, or Noga, or dozens of other four-legged beasties. The New York City Schnauzers Playgroup, about 40 people and their pups, meets the second Sunday of each month. Organizer Savannah Burnett says it’s not just the dogs that sniff each other out. “I’ve met some of my best friends here,” she tells us, “people I never would have met in other aspects of my life.” As for romance? Let’s just say we’ve heard that puppy love is not limited to the pets.
Madison Square Park Dog Run, Madison Ave at 23rd St (schnauzer.meetup.com). Next event: Dec 14 at 11am, free.
