In the words of Matt: Milena hosted an open bar at a lovely little Murray Hill establishment formerly known as Tavern on Third (a casualty of the pandemic, may it rest in peace). Serendipitously, I attended the open bar with some friends. Inexplicably, Milena called out to me – never having spoken a word to each other until that moment, despite us growing up in the same hometown and attending high school together – whereupon she invited me to the bar and bought me a drink. The rest, as they say, is history.
