How They Met

The Line To Get Into Porta Was Too Long (IYKYK)

The restaurant industry in Philadelphia is a small world. Amanda's sister Sam was working under-appreciated hours serving drinks and cheesesteak spring rolls at a place that shall not be named here with Nick's best friend Mike. At their weekly Friday night sister dinner, Amanda declared she was going to keep it lowkey and head home after. Sam had other plans. "Come out with me instead - I am meeting up with some friends! And I know a cute tall bartender at this new place called Brickwall." Cut forward to an unknown number of Red Bull vodka bombs later and Amanda was typing out her number on another bartender's phone to send to Nick. They went on their first date a couple days later and have been pretty much inseparable ever since. Nick will tell you that he "chose to text Amanda specifically out of the *hundreds* of numbers he used to receive" because he had heard about her already from his best friend Mike. Amanda rolls her eyes at this story every time. The rest, as they say, is history. And thankfully the other bar was too difficult to get into that night.

For all the days along the way
