Our Best Dates Across the USA

Over the course of our relationship, we've been lucky to live in many different places - both together and apart. Here are a few spots in each of those places that have special meaning to us. Presented in chronological order.

The Passenger

1539 7th Street Northwest, Washington, DC

The site of our first date!

Union Market

1309 5th Street Northeast, Washington, DC

When we lived in DC, we used to walk here from Divya's apartment (when it wasn't too muggy).

Little Serow

1511 17th Street Northwest, Washington, DC

Our favorite well-known but still-hidden DC date spot.

Raven Grill

3125 Mount Pleasant Street Northwest, Washington, DC

Favorite dive bar in DC, a short walk from Sam's apartment.

Pour

241 East Main Street, Mount Kisco, NY

Our favorite date spot near Divya's hometown.

The Charles

417 Charles Street, La Plata, MD

Our favorite date spot near Sam's hometown.

Frita Batidos Ann Arbor

117 West Washington Street, Ann Arbor, MI

Divya talked a big game about how great Ann Arbor is. The one time Sam visited, this burger won him over!

August Wine Bar

3 Edwards Street, New Haven, CT

Best date spot in New Haven (where Sam went to business school)!

Pizza Italia

307 West 17th Street, New York, NY

Divya lived across the street in New York, so needless to say we've shared many late night slices from here. Legend has it, she still has a tab open under her name...

Fort Adams State Park

Fort Adams State Park, Newport, RI

The home of the Newport Folk Festival, where we fall in love with music - and each other - again and again.

Newport Blues Café

286 Thames Street, Newport, RI

Home of Deer Tick's famous Newport Folk Festival after parties. We have seen this band (Deer Tick) together more times than we can count.

The Silver Fork

48 West Road, Manchester, VT

One of the more romantic anniversaries we celebrated was our third year. Sam was in business school, and Divya had just moved to New York. We picked the absolute COLDEST weekend of the decade, and if you've seen Sam's Jeep, you know that it never really warms up. One night for dinner, we found the coziest, cutest little German restaurant and had the best bread pudding of our lives. We'll never forget that bread pudding.

Bolton's Spicy Chicken & Fish

624 Main Street, Nashville, TN

The requisite stop for hot chicken in Nashville, on our cross-country drive. It was awesommmme!

Bogart's Smokehouse

1627 South 9th Street, St. Louis, MO

Best BBQ of our lives!

Milt's Stop & Eat

356 South Mill Creek Drive, Moab, UT

Ask us about the most scenic place in the world we've ever eaten burgers in one bite.

Quince

470 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco, CA

Ask us about the time we accidentally spent $800 on dinner for two.

Brasswood Bar + Kitchen

3111 Saint Helena Highway, St. Helena, CA

The food is so good, and we ordered so much, that our waiter made fun of us! We're scared to go back in case it doesn't live up to the hype...

Little Donkey

505 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA

Our favorite dinner date spot while Divya was at Harvard.

Tomales Bay Oyster Company

15479 California 1, Marshall, CA

Perhaps our favorite date spot of all time - shuck your own oysters by the water.

Robert Sinskey Vineyards

6320 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA

Yes, we live near Napa. Yes, we're members at a winery. Yes, it's one of our favorite date spots.

Flour + Water Pizzeria

702 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA

We lived right around the corner in our first apartment together - it's our favorite pizza in the city!

Spud Point Crab Company

1910 Westshore Road, Bodega Bay, CA

Our last date before we got engaged!

El Barrio

16230 Main Street, Guerneville, CA

Our first date as an engaged couple!

Toyose

3814 Noriega Street, San Francisco, CA

Korean spot in SF that we loved so much, we decided to move nearby!

Ocean Beach

San Francisco, CA

A budding favorite morning/evening bike ride from our new place in San Francisco.
