The U.S. Census Bureau doesn't take an average Friday night at a New York bar as evidence enough: The government agency released a report showing that the NY metro area is fifth on the list of the 20 largest metropolitan areas that young college-educated singles (ages 25-39) move to. The report, "Migration of the Young, Single and College-Educated," (PDF) shows San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area is the top city singles with BA's move to, followed by L.A., Atlanta, and D.C. Hmm. Maybe the Census Bureau isn't counting Williamsburg as a part of the NY metro area.
The Census Bureau also noted that NYC has the highest percentage of singles than anywhere else in the country. Our suggestions on where to take someone on a date in NYC.




Woooo-hoooo!! We're number five!
Wooooo-hooo! We're average!!! Huh?
#5...F*** that, behind Cali, Miami, ATLANTA!!!!?!?!?! and D.C...who the F*** did they ask? Members of the damn Chess club?
BTW...no offense to the members of the chess club. Much love to my chess playing brethren.
seriously-they act like it is news where up there-its freakin news where not #1- Dont patronize us with a "a nyc" coming in a respectable 5th place-Bull Shat
I was trying to justify being 5th and I settled on 'some people like to have cars' as the other four areas are motoring towns.
We're number ONE! Hah!
yes- we are all single people bitching that we can't find a good lover/boyfriend/husband.
Bitch, bitch, bitch.
You people have to lower your expectation. I'm perfectly happy if I get to make out with a girl every few weeks. New York is perfect for that. Then, with my ego stroked, I go home to a nice, warm comfortable bed in which I DON'T have to fight for the covers.
Jen, still looking for a sit-down at Peter Luger's? My friends and I go there more often than we care to admit, and we're always looking for new victims with whom to trade catty barbs.
It is singles-tastic down here in DC. I think the pull is our thriving kickball league...but not totally sure.
