We just opened up New York. It's early, so the plans density is still building, and that's where you come in. Download the app, post your first plan, and share it with your friends. The people you invite become the first NYC network.
Plus 1 is the plans-first social app for dating, friends, and networking. Unlike Hinge, Bumble, or Tinder, you do not swipe through profiles. You post a real plan with a date and place. Other verified members request to join. The host approves one. You meet at the activity. The plan is the introduction.
Members declare an intent on every plan: dating, friendship, or networking. You only see plans posted by members whose intent matches yours.
Rooftop drinks, gallery openings, Broadway, sports, networking happy hours.
Smorgasburg, run clubs, comedy nights, Williamsburg waterfront, dinner parties.
Live music, food crawls, US Open, neighborhood explorations.
Yankees games, Botanical Garden, food tours.
Ferry sunsets, parks, neighborhood meet-ups.
Jersey City, Hoboken, and Long Island are supported through the same app.
This is new for NYC. Members can browse upcoming Ticketmaster events directly inside the Plus 1 app: concerts, sporting events, shows, comedy. Tap an event you want to go to, post it as a plan, set your intent (dating, friends, or networking), and another verified member can request to join you. You meet at the event. No more spare ticket on StubHub at 5pm.
Plans-first social apps fit New York better than they fit anywhere else. The plans density is highest in the country: concerts every night, sports games every weekend, openings every Thursday, brunches every Sunday. Plus 1 was built for cities exactly like this.
NYC just opened up on Plus 1. Because we are early, the network is still small. That means fewer plans in the feed today than there are in Miami, and it means the experience will feel a bit quiet at first. We are telling you that up front. Here is what to do with that.
The best way to make Plus 1 useful in NYC right now is to post the plan you were going to make anyway (drinks Thursday, run Saturday, dinner at that new spot), then send the link to a few friends. They download the app to join your plan, and now they can see everything else you and your friends are up to.
This is the point. Instead of the group chat where three people ask "what are you doing this week?" and no one answers, plans on Plus 1 are visible. Someone posts brunch Sunday. Someone else taps to join. Done. No coordinating over three text threads.
Premium ($4.99/month) lets you coordinate plans across a whole friend group, not just one-to-one. Approve up to 5 people per plan, then use the built-in group chat inside each plan to handle logistics: who's driving, what time, who's grabbing the reservation. All of it lives inside the plan itself, not in a separate iMessage thread. This is Plus 1 as your friend-group operating system, not just a dating or social discovery app.
Not sure what to do? Open the Ideas tab. It's a curated feed of restaurants, rooftops, events, and activities across NYC. See something you like, tap once, and it becomes a plan you can post. Invite your friends or open it up to the wider network.
Every NYC member is verified before posting or joining a plan, either by linking a primary social account (LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram) so other members can vet them, or by completing real ID verification. Members without a linked social are automatically prompted for ID verification. Hosts can also require real ID verification on a per-plan basis when creating a plan, so only ID-verified members can request to join. Every plan is host-approved. Reporting is one tap. Trust review is 24 hours.
The architecture that has kept 2,054 Miami plans safe carries over.
Yes. NYC just opened. The plans network is smaller than Miami's for now, so the feed will feel quieter at first. Download the app, post your first plan, and share it with a few friends so they can join. That's how the NYC network gets built.
All five: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Jersey City, Hoboken, and Long Island are supported through the same app.
Yes. Premium ($4.99/month) unlocks group coordination. Approve up to 5 people per plan and get a built-in group chat inside each plan so all the logistics (who's driving, meeting time, reservation) live in one thread. It replaces the "what are we doing this weekend?" group chat entirely. Your friends can also see everything else you and your other friends are up to, so plans stop being locked inside private DMs.
Ideas is a curated feed of NYC restaurants, rooftops, events, and things to do. Browse it when you don't know what you want to do. See something you like? Tap once and it becomes a plan you can post to your friends or the wider network.
Yes. Plus 1 is free to download and use. Optional Premium is $4.99/mo and Platinum is $99/mo. Free members can post and join plans.
Plus 1 has integrated with Ticketmaster so members can browse upcoming concerts, sports games, and shows directly inside the app. Tap an event, post it as a plan, and another verified member can request to join you.
Plus 1 is plan-first, not profile-first. Members commit to a specific real activity, then meet over it. The activity replaces the small talk. Plus 1 also supports three intents (dating, friendship, networking), which most apps do not.
Brands, venues, and creators interested in launch partnerships, sponsored events, or activations in NYC can email info@joinplus1.com. See the partnerships page for more.
Plus 1 is free. Download the app, verify in under three minutes, post your first NYC plan, and share it with a few friends so they can join. The plans density is still building, so your early plans get more visibility than they will at any point later.
