Single and the City schedules July singles mixers with sailors, firefighters and first responders

Single and the City is hosting two July events in Manhattan that pair single women with visiting Fleet Week service members and local first responders. The mixers are timed to New York’s Fleet Week and America’s 250th birthday celebrations, and the company says themed events drive stronger attendance than age-based singles parties. Why it matters: - The events target a specific dating pool: women looking to meet men in uniform, including visiting sailors and Marines and local firefighters, police officers and EMS professionals. - The mixers are tied to Fleet Week, which brings thousands of service members into New York City and adds a high-traffic, patriotic backdrop. - Single and the City says themed parties create faster conversation and stronger turnout than traditional age-based singles events. What happened: - Single and the City announced two July singles events in Manhattan. - The first is the annual Fleet Week Singles Party on Sunday, July 5, 2026, from 7:00 PM to midnight at The Addison in Midtown Manhattan. - The second is Rescue Me Singles Party® on Thursday, July 16, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM at High Bar NYC. - Tickets and more information are available at SingleAndTheCity.com . The details: - The Fleet Week party is designed for single women to meet sailors, Marines, Coast Guard members and other military personnel visiting New York for Fleet Week. - Active-duty and retired service members in uniform get an open bar from 7–8 PM and complimentary appetizers while supplies last. - The Fleet Week event also includes a DJ, dancing and professional event photography. - The event is open to singles and socializers ages 21 and older. - Rescue Me Singles Party® is a rooftop mixer at High Bar NYC with Midtown views. - The July 16 event brings together firefighters, EMTs, police officers, military personnel, ER professionals and search-and-rescue workers. - The Rescue Me event includes DJ music, dancing and interactive trivia. - Happy hour specials run through 10 PM. - Verified first responders who arrive between 7–8 PM receive a complimentary drink ticket. - The Rescue Me event is open to women of all professions and verified first responders with agency ID. - The Addison is located at 214 West 39th Street, New York, NY 10018. - High Bar NYC is located at 346 West 40th Street, New York, NY 10018. - Single and the City describes The Addison as formerly The Dean. Between the lines: - The timing lines up with Fleet Week and New York’s year-long celebration of America’s 250th birthday, which should help the events stand out in a crowded summer calendar. - Founder Amber Soletti said women at the events often want men who are confident, decisive and willing to lead. - Soletti also said the format has led to hookups, first dates, relationships and marriages over the years. - Soletti said Fleet Week’s short window lowers pressure because sailors are only in town for a few days. - The company’s pitch is as much about convenience and instant common ground as it is about matchmaking. What’s next: - Single and the City will hold the Fleet Week Singles Party first, then follow with the Rescue Me rooftop mixer 11 days later. - The July events could serve as a barometer for whether military-themed and first-responder-themed mixers continue to outperform broader singles formats this summer. The bottom line: - Single and the City is leaning into two of New York’s most reliable social magnets: Fleet Week and first responders.
