"Kisses were permitted, but tightly regulated (no more than five seconds and absolutely no tongue). Now, a century later, the rules are significantly more relaxed and the room is being reactivated for something closer to flirtation than farewell. Speed dating is the RSVP-only portion of the evening, featuring two 40-minute rounds with just 16 participants per round. Attendees will enjoy free wine and small bites, with hosting duties handled by photographer and digital media expert Jacques Morel and music by Luna Rosa."
"The rest of the evening, however, is designed to spill well beyond the dating pool. From 3-7pm, the Biltmore Room will also host a Valentine's Day Market that's open to the public with no registration required. The lineup includes live poetry, DJ sets, pop-up performances (including a Broadway teaser) and vendors ranging from Jacques Torres Chocolate and Doughnut Plant to Murray's Cheese, Jet Set Candy, Lovepop, Shake Shack and Damselfly Flowers."
Grand Central's Biltmore Room will host One Stop to Love: Speed Dating on Friday, February 13, running 5–7pm. The Biltmore Room was designed in the early 1900s as a greeting gallery where kisses were permitted but tightly regulated. The RSVP-only speed dating includes two 40-minute rounds with 16 participants per round, free wine, small bites, hosting by Jacques Morel, and music by Luna Rosa. From 3–7pm the room will host a public Valentine's Day Market with live poetry, DJ sets, pop-up performances, and vendors. Vendors include Jacques Torres Chocolate, Doughnut Plant, Murray's Cheese, Jet Set Candy, Lovepop, Shake Shack, and Damselfly Flowers. The venue's architecture provides a romantic backdrop for the event.
