Things To Do
Prospect Park
Go for a walk (or a run! or a bike ride!) in Brooklyn's second-largest park—the place where Arielle and David first met.
Bearded Lady
Grab a drink at the bar where David and Arielle shared their first drink. And maybe kiss a loved one on the sidewalk outside, where David and Arielle shared their first kiss.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
It's possible the cherry blossoms will be in bloom around our wedding! Check the cherry tracker on their site to plan ahead, as you'll want to pre-buy your tickets if so.
Goods for the Study Nolita
Because Arielle and David's dream, if money didn't matter, would be to open up a stationary store together.
Yoseka Stationery
And because they love stationary so much, they couldn't choose just one store.
McNally Jackson Books Seaport
A great bookstore—this location specifically!
Vinegar Hill House
Get the sourdough pancakes. They change flavors each season.
Fabrique Artisan Bakery
Arielle's favorite cardamom bun in the US of A.
Ferrane Bakery
And her favorite cinnamon bun.
SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa
Get sushi at Arielle and David's favorite sushi restaurant. The 9-course omakase is under $55. Note: they don't take reservations.
Japan Village
Grab some salmon onigiri at Obentoyasan and strawberry hi-chews at Sunrise Mart. They'll fuel you up for a few hours of perusing the furniture outlets and vintage shops in surrounding Industry City. If you need a caffeine and pastry morale boost at any point, stop into Tadaima.
Defonte's Sandwich Shop
Amazing sandwiches that are so large they come in full sizes, half sizes, and, amazingly, third sizes. They're cash only and closed on Sundays.
Red Hook Lobster Pound
Delicious lobster rolls. And now you're in Red Hook, so you might as well stay and check out the shops along Van Brunt as well as whatever's on at Pioneer Works.
Olive's
Grab a chicken sandwich on focaccia (David's favorite) or a turkey BLT (Arielle's favorite) and save room for a cowboy cookie.
F&F Pizzeria
You're in New York, baby! Get yourself a slice.
Aita
Go for "aperitivo hour" and order a spritz (perhaps the Italicus spritz—Arielle's favorite). Each drink during happy hour comes with a little platter of cichetti.
L'Albero Dei Gelati
The best gelato and sorbet.
Front General Store
Well-curated vintage clothing and homewares for fair (by NYC standards) prices.
The Green-Wood Cemetery
Check out the beautiful grounds of the cemetery around the corner from where Arielle and David live. Leave a stick for Rex the dog; say hi to Jean-Michel Basquiat; maybe shed a few tears in front of the Angel of Grief; and seek out Minerva, who waves to the Statue of Liberty in the New York Harbor.
