Why Mapdate works in Chicago

Built for the way Chicago actually meets.

Chicago neighborhoods are tribes. Lincoln Park doesn't go to Pilsen. Wicker Park doesn't go to Lakeview on a Tuesday. Apps that hand you a match across the city ignore the way the place actually works. Mapdate keeps it neighborhood-first.

Open the live map after work and you can see who's at Lone Wolf in West Loop, who's grabbing a quick one at Half Sour in the Loop, who's meeting friends in Logan Square — and decide where to drop in.
