Silver Sapphics: A Singles Mixer for the 50+ Community at Henrietta Hudson – New York, NY

Hi, Matchmaker Karmen here. I’ve spoken with a lot of lesbians and bi women over the age of 50 recently who feel like nightlife caters to a younger crowd. And, for most people, it’s not as easy to meet people in bars as it used to be. So, I’m partnering with Henrietta Hudson to bring you Silver Sapphics, a singles mixer for the 50+ community.

If you’re a single, sapphic, and open to meeting new people, come to Hen’s and bring a friend. We’ll have a q & a discussion with Matchmaker Karmen, play some games to facilitate new connections, and enjoy the comfort of community.

Date & Time:

Friday, January 16, 2026

6-8 pm aka Happy Hour!
