Pema first asked Ken to go skydiving, but they decided that falling from 10,000ft would give ‘falling in love’ too literal of a meaning. They eventually went skydiving but our first five dates weren’t your typical dates... 1. Dinner at Mamak (aka an Asian food truck converted to a restaurant in the East Village) 2. Holiday-themed scavenger hunt around NYC 3. Tandem bike riding in Central Park 4. Ken playing hockey (when a NYPD team member checked Ken, Pema slammed on the glass and screamed, ‘police brutality!’) 5. The Smith restaurant....and then the Emergency room (Pema had a couple of glasses of wine, passed out in the restaurant, had to be carted out by the ambulence crew, and taken to a hospital on the upper east side. Ken paid the bill in the middle of 2nd Avenue (left a nice tip), jumped in the ambulence, and the rest was history).
