How We Met
Like so many millienials living in New York City, we both found on the most modern of places: on a dating app! Our first date was another very NYC location: at a bar located in the entrance of a subway station. The date ended up with us at Bryant Park having pizza and beer while watching an outdoor concert. And the rest is history!
