Swayze x Grid x Creatures Dating Event

NYC singles showed up and showed out at the Love Island-inspired rooftop party hosted by Swayze, Grid, and Creatures, and yes, it was as flirty, fun, and unforgettable as it sounds.

On a warm summer night in NYC, 50+ of the city’s most interesting, attractive, and outgoing singles gathered on a rooftop to do what Love Island does best: mix, mingle, and maybe meet their match.

Love Island Meets NYC Energy

This wasn’t your average dating event.
The Love Island-themed party brought the heat with:

- Flirty icebreakers and cheeky challenges (yes, people actually talked to each other)
- Curated guest list
of NYC's most fun and social singles
- Tropical cocktails
, DJ sets, and golden hour photo ops
- Rooftop romance vibes you’d expect — minus the cameras (almost)

In a world of dating apps and ghosting, this event proved something big:
The best way to meet singles in NYC is still IRL.

The atmosphere was electric: from spontaneous dance battles to deep convos over pineapple drinks, everyone left with a story (and maybe a few new contacts).

What’s Next?

This sold-out singles event was just the beginning.
Swayze is on a mission to make authentic, offline connections cool again — whether it’s through exclusive events, influencer-led brand collabs, or Gen Z community-building.
