We met one night after our respective companies' Christmas parties where we had gone for one more drink with our co-workers. We have memories of this bar being so cute and romantic but in actuality, when we went back many years later it was pretty awful...Romantic was not a word used in anyone's recent yelp review. We had clearly built it up in our memory :) We had our first date a week later at a little Italian spot in the lower east side. I, of course, was 45 minutes late because I got the address wrong. When I got there Andrew was, of course, already knee deep in the Burrata appetizer.... Clearly the lights were darker than we remembered that first night because I was fully expecting to get dinner with this cute "blond" guy I had met... A very brown haired Andrew was a nice surprise too. All these years later, I am still always late and Andrew is still always hungry.
