The dress code is “black tie optional.” That means we encourage you to wear a tuxedo or a floor-length gown. But if you’d be more comfortable wearing a dark suit or a tea-length dress (or something equally dressy), please do!
The ceremony and the reception will be at The Bowery Hotel, located at 335 Bowery, New York, NY (the intersection of Bowery and 3rd Street). The Bowery Hotel’s event space is called the Bowery Terrace, on the second floor of the hotel. The entrance to the Bowery Terrace is immediately to the right of the main entrance to the Bowery Hotel, up a flight of stairs. The Bowery Terrace is also accessible by elevator if you have any concerns about going up the stairs.
The Bowery Hotel is located in Manhattan’s East Village. If you’re coming from New York City, it is easily accessible by train, bus, or taxi. Many of you are staying in the Hotel 50 Bowery, which is located at, well, 50 Bowery. That is not the same hotel as the one that will be hosting the wedding, but it is close! You can get from the Hotel 50 Bowery to the venue in approximately 7 minutes by taxi or Uber, or in 10 minutes on the M103 bus if you want the thrill of taking public transit in black tie. You can also walk in about 15 minutes, if you’re willing to risk getting very sweaty. If you’re driving to the wedding, there are several nearby parking garages. We recommend parking at the Edison ParkFast at 375 Lafayette Street or Bond Street Parking at 25 Bond Street — both are less than a block from the Bowery Hotel.
The ceremony, dinner, and dancing will all be indoors. But, weather permitting, there will be the opportunity to spend time on the Bowery Terrace’s namesake terrace during the cocktail hour and afterparty.
Yes, there will be an afterparty. It will also be in the Bowery Hotel, so don’t worry, you won’t miss it.
We understand the urge to take your own pictures on your phone, and there will be a moment for everyone to do so. But after that, please don’t: we have a really good wedding photographer, and she is going to document every moment. When we look out at our friends and family, we would much rather see your faces than your phones.
Yes there will. Just tell your waiter that’s what you want when they come around. Don’t worry, we aren’t singling you out — everyone else will be ordering from the waiters too.
The night before the wedding, Saturday, September 2, we will be hosting welcome drinks from 7:30 pm to 10 pm at Shelter, a restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, located at 80 N. 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY. We especially want to welcome those of you who are traveling to New York from out of town, but everyone who is invited to the wedding is very welcome to join us on Saturday night. We love you all too much to only see you at the wedding, when we’re going to be busy making vows, drinking mini milkshakes, and breaking it down on the dance floor. So we want to make sure we have a chance to see you in a more casual setting, with the only distractions being empanadas and pizza. We also want to make sure those of you who haven’t met each other yet get the chance to do so. If you’re coming to the welcome drinks from Hotel 50 Bowery, take an Uber and you’ll get there in 15 minutes. You can also get to Shelter via transit, but for you out-of-towners, it’s probably more trouble than it’s worth. And don’t take a yellow cab — they don’t like to go to Brooklyn.
