An escape room here was our very first date and the beginning of so many shared memories. It’s where we learned how well we work together, laughed through the surprises, and started building all the adventures that followed.
Muse Paint Bar was another one of our favorite date spots. Tati has always loved arts and crafts, and it was the perfect chance for Paul to channel his inner Bob Ross. We’ve always had such a great time there, and if you’re into painting or just want to try something new, this is definitely a must-try experience. We still have our paintings hanging up in our apartment as reminders of those nights.
This is where we had dinner on our first date. I ordered a grilled cheese with coleslaw, and Paul had a sandwich with fries. When the check arrived, I jumped in to try to grab it and pay. Paul says this is the moment he fell in love with me. He did end up paying, and definitely appreciated my efforts to pay.
Iona University is where we first met, and it will always hold a special place in our story. This campus is filled with meaningful memories, not just from our time together as a couple, but also from our individual journeys and the incredible friends we made along the way. It’s a beautiful place to explore and one we highly recommend taking a walk through.
Beech is another place that holds memories we can’t even begin to count. From countless nights out with friends to playing cards at the bar, it’s been a backdrop for so many fun moments in our story. And if you’re a wing lover, this is a must, their wings are some of the best in Westchester!
If you haven’t had a New York bagel or a classic bacon, egg, and cheese, you definitely need to check out The Ave Deli. Any time we visit home, we always make a stop here, it’s a non-negotiable.
