8 on a Date @ Eight
Thursday, 7/8
Still searching for Ms. or Mr. Right? Introducing 8 on a Date @ Eight, a brand new event that allows you to go on four first dates...all at the same time, without the normal nerves and pressure that come with a traditional one-on-one date. Three groups of eight, made up of four single women and four single men (same sex groups can also be formed upon request) will be matched up according to age and interests. Each group will go to dinner on us at one of three restaurants and then meet up afterward for cocktails at Aroma! And don't sweat it, there will be seven other people to help break the ice--and you never know, you might just end up finding Mr. or Ms. Right...right across the table! SORRY-THIS EVENT IS AT CAPACITY.
