The questions

Each answer makes the next decision smaller.

Eight focused choices move from the broad plan to the details that make a place feel right.

  1. Choose a destination

    Pick a Manhattan neighborhood, search an area, use a nearby option, or explore all of Manhattan.

  2. Set the timing

    Tell Moodap when you plan to go so the next choices fit the time of day.

  3. Pick a category

    Start with food, drinks, entertainment, an activity, or another kind of outing.

  4. Refine the type

    Choose the cuisine, kind of bar, performance, or activity that sounds right.

  5. Choose the setting

    Say whether you prefer an indoor option, outdoor option, or either.

  6. Describe the group

    A solo plan, date, and group outing need different kinds of places.

  7. Set the energy

    Choose a calmer room, a lively crowd, or something in between.

  8. Add the budget

    Pick the price range that works for this particular plan.
