Singles Events in the Western Suburbs
The western suburbs run from Oak Park and Berwyn at the city line, through Elmhurst, Hinsdale, Oak Brook and Downers Grove, out to Wheaton, Naperville and the Fox Valley towns of Aurora, Geneva and St. Charles. Chicago First Dates hosts speed dating across this whole corridor so that meeting someone does not require an hour on the Eisenhower.
Western suburban events are friendly and well organized. The venues are the restaurants and wine bars your neighbors already go to, the crowd is people who commute the same trains you do, and every night is organized by age range so the mix is right.
