On Saturday July 11th, we'll explore Manhattan's most memorable makeout spots, from secret gardens and rooftops to iconic landmarks with dreamy vistas. Note that making out is neither required nor necessarily encouraged during this daylong city wander, but you'll come away with ample ideas and itineraries for future fraternizing, and by all means feel free to share stories of snoggings of yore and to suggest additional recs along the trek. If you can convince any ecologist/sociologist friends to join us, maybe they can help us uncover the intricacies undergirding urban dating ecologies! This hike celebrates 2026's Week of Visibility of Non-Monogamy. While monogamy works great for most people most of the time, it's nice to celebrate all the nontraditional relationship styles and approaches that enable people to choose and cultivate the best relationship configurations for them! Learn more at https://www.weekofvisibility.com. I attempted to use cat gifs to explain non-monogamy here: https://open.substack.com/pub/stevedean/p/non-monogamy-polyamory-open-relationships-explained-with-cat-gifs-f8b73a7a50ad FYI this is a 10+ hour stroll spanning 10+ miles, and you are free to join us at *any* point along the way 🙌 All RSVP'd "yes" and "maybe" attendees will receive a link at 10am to my realtime location for the entire hike, along with my phone number, so you can see exactly where we are on google maps. If you text me when you plan to join, we can keep an eye out for ya 🤗 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🌿 About Hyggehiking 🌿 Hygge means "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being." "Hyggehiking" is my own special blend, where we engage in that conviviality while trekking through green spaces throughout our city. I host Hygge gatherings so we can come together to make new friends, discuss fun projects we're eager to work on, dive into deep, thoughtful discussions, and meet people who can help make NYC feel like a smaller, closer-knit community. We bring our friends, family, coworkers, anyone we think would enjoy spending the day alongside a variety of curious souls. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🗺️ ITINERARY 🗺️ Here's my Google Maps list of the places we'll pass by: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7nCib6WH63UMKjws7 🚏 10am-10:30am — Little Canal in 'Dimes Square' (our meetup spot) 🚏 10:30am-11:30am — Williamsburg Bridge, East River Promenade, Pier 42, Pier 35 🚏 11:30am-1pm — Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Seaport, Pier 17, Elevated Acre, Oasis Park 🚏 1pm-2pm — Hudson Eats Food Court 🚏 2pm-4pm — Poet's House, Collect Pond Park, Elizabeth Street Garden, Housing Works Bookstore, Washington Square Park, Jefferson Market Library 🚏 4pm-6pm — Gansevoort Beach, Little Island, Pier 57, Pier 59, High Line, Bryant Park, Radio City 🚏 6pm-7pm — Hallett Nature Sanctuary, The Mall & Literary Walk, Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, Shawarma Bay 🚏 7pm-8pm — Hearst Plaza, Lincoln Center, Pier 97, Riverside Park, Pier 1 🚏 9pm-10pm — Umpire Rock, Ladies Pavillion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🎒WHAT TO BRING🎒 • comfy walking shoes • sun protection • cash • stories • friends 🥰 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 👋🏼ABOUT YOUR HOST👋🏼 I'm Steve Dean, admirer of nature, denizen of the internet, steward of social and technological ecologies, dating industry consultant, and relationship coach.
