Gracie and Christian went on an early date here, where they saw an exhibit about CIA coups in Latin American countries. They’ve been back many times.
Gracie’s childhood bookstore, and Christian took her here as a pretense to get her on the side of the park where he wanted to pop the question. She mused about buying a copy of the Power Broker, and he emphatically said it wasn’t a good idea that day.
Gracie and Christian’s current neighborhood bookstore. Where many of these pictures were taken!
An excellent neighborhood spot with old D&D/Warhammer rulebooks on the bathroom walls.
A favorite neighborhood spot. Christian and Gracie went here after they got engaged, and they saw the Yankees lose in an embarrassing way to the Dodgers in the 2024 World Series (go Mets).
An excellent arthouse cinema specializing in indie screenings and repertory films. Christian is a member; thank you Polly!
Christian and Gracie’s favorite French restaurant. The owner is very nice!
Ask for the “beer in a big glass” as Christian once did.
The best spot for martinis and oysters in the whole city
This used bookstore feels like a relic from another era. Add it to your morning on the upper west side and act like a Nora Ephron character.
Brooklyn’s backyard, and the place where Gracie and Christian got engaged! Designed by the same architect as Central Park, he referred to Prospect Park as the Crown Jewel of Brooklyn! (as Gracie will never tire of telling you)
