New York is overflowing with queer energy - yet meeting someone genuinely compatible can feel impossible. Apps are chaotic. Bars are loud. DMs are a battlefield.
Cuff It creates a third option: curated, joyful, drag-hosted speed dating for every identity under the queer umbrella.
Whether you're looking for love, lust, long-term, short-term, or just a fun story to tell your group chat... Cuff It delivers an IRL connection you cannot get anywhere.
hosted weekly and monthly across NYC by nightlife legends, Cuff It transforms into a show, a spectacle, and an experience.
(And why NYC can't stop talking about it.)
❤️ Real Conversations. Zero awkwardness.
We guide the night, set the tone, and ensure you're talking to people who actually match your vibe - no wasted rounds.
💋 Drag hosts who make flirting feel effortless.
Stasi, Lola Latte, and rotating icons break the ice, keep things flowing, and make you laugh your way into love.
