The Cherry Hill dating scene

City pulse: south Jersey suburban classic with Philly soul next door. With 26K singles in the metro and a median age of 41, Cherry Hill is city-perfect for philadelphia commuters who cross the bridge for jersey diners. The pool is deep enough that where and when you show up matter more than which app you pick.

The locals' rule is simple: anchor yourself in one or two neighborhoods — Cherry Hill Mall for going out, Barclay for daytime, Kingston when Cherry Hill Mall feels overplayed — and become a regular instead of bouncing around. Then layer one good app on top for reach. Below: the apps locals use, the events, the date ideas, and the offline plays.
