Hi there!
Thanks so much for your interest in Cuff It! We made the decision to postpone Cuff It for the January/February debut because we didn’t hit the participation numbers we needed to deliver the experience at the level we expect and you deserve. Rather than run something that felt half-baked, we chose to pause, refund everyone in full, and take time to rework the format so it can come back stronger.
This isn’t the end of Cuff It — just a reset. We truly appreciate your interest and support, and we’d love to welcome you to a future iteration once it’s ready.
Thanks again for understanding, and we hope to see you soon 💖

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.

How is cuff it not cringe like every other speed dating?
How is cuff it not cringe like every other speed dating?
Great question!
You'll have options to mark people as potential romantic partners, platonic amigos, or both.
No awkward conversations. Between two crazy drag queens hosting, the environment offers a lot to comment on along with host-led questions, prompt cards, and quick challenges (not embarrassing, not annoying), you'll have plenty to talk about with whoever you're across from.
Example Topics:
What was your last really bad idea?
Look around the room, who here would absolutely ghost the person they're sitting with?
What's your go to bar for a first date?
What's something you're embarrassingly good at?
Are you a planner or a viber?
