Oak Park sits right on the city line, close enough to the Loop for the Green Line and far enough for its own downtown, its own restaurant scene and its own way of doing things. Chicago First Dates hosts speed dating nights here for singles from Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Berwyn, Elmwood Park and the near West Side who want a real night out without going downtown.
The Oak Park crowd is thoughtful and easygoing: teachers, architects, healthcare workers from Rush Oak Park, people who work in the Loop and ride the Green Line home, and neighbors who have lived here for years. Every event is organized by age range.
Where we host in Oak Park
Restaurants and lounges along Marion Street, Lake Street and Oak Park Avenue, with a reserved section for the event. The Oak Park and Harlem stops on the Green Line and the Metra are a short walk, and the village garages take care of parking.

Arrive, check in with our host, grab a drink and settle in. Ten to fifteen five-minute mini-dates with everyone in your age group, a break in the middle to mingle, nothing to decide at the table. The next day you log in, choose who you'd like to see again, and we send details for every mutual match — the same format we run everywhere in Chicagoland.
