Rachel and Eric met the old-fashioned way - on a dating app. Their story began on a hot summer night at a cozy Italian restaurant in Manhattan’s Seaport neighborhood. Rachel was thrilled that the date was just two blocks from her apartment…yet still managed to show up thirty minutes late. After dinner (and one too many martinis) they made the obvious choice to move the date to Fish Market, their favorite neighborhood dive with regular free Jameson shots and a killer Malaysian food menu. When the bar finally closed, neither of them were ready for the night to end. They wandered down to the water, sat by the pier overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, and talked under the moon and city lights. In a way, that night never really ended. Since then, Rachel and Eric have lived through many chapters together. Eric began and completed law school, Rachel moved to Jersey City, they’ve hosted Christmas and Halloween parties, shared countless fabulous dinners in the city, traveled to Italy, and, most importantly, got engaged. Through every change and season, one thing has remained constant...their height difference... ...and their promise to love each other, no matter what 🤍

The Keens Steakhouse pipe tradition began in the early 20th century now owning the largest collection of churchwarden pipes in the world. The tradition of checking one's pipe at the inn had its origins in 17th century Merrie Old England where travelers kept their clay at their favorite inn - the thin stemmed pipe being too fragile to be carried in purse or saddlebag. The hard clay churchwarden pipes were brought from the Netherlands and as many as 50,000 were ordered every three years. A pipe warden registered and stored the pipes, while pipe boys returned the pipes from storage to the patrons. The membership roster of the Pipe Club contained over 90,000 names, including those of Teddy Roosevelt, Babe Ruth, Will Rogers, Billy Rose, Grace Moore, Albert Einstein, George M. Cohan, J.P. Morgan, Stanford White, John Barrymore, David Belasco, Adlai Stevenson, General Douglas MacArthur and "Buffalo Bill" Cody. All of which you can find cased in the lobby of the restaurant! You'll also notice a new addition to the Lincoln Room, Abraham Lincoln's casket flag. The 37 star flag was made specifically to drape President Lincoln's casket on his funeral train in 1865 and now hangs on the second floor of Keens Steakhouse.
