Our Story

Yania's gone Full Monte

It was a lazy Monday night in New York City’s East Village. Monte and a buddy were enjoying a quiet night out after a long weekend of work, meanwhile, Yania was enjoying a girls night out. As Monte was at the bar enjoying a cocktail, he noticed a group of girls nearby and commented to his buddy on a lovely young lass who had caught his eye. Yania, who had agreed only reluctantly to come out that night at the behest of her girlfriends, saw Monte at the bar and pointed him out to one of her friends. In due course, the call of nature drove Monte to seek out the restroom and, upon arriving at the co-ed bathrooms, he flung open the door and found Yania seated upon the commode. “Well,” said he, “this is quite a sight, my lady, but perhaps in the future you might consider locking the door.” Nonplussed, she responded with a smile “I will take that under advisement. Now kindly close the door.” Upon Yania’s exit from the restroom, Monte solicitously approached her and offered her a beverage as recompense for having barged in on her Nudus in Gloria, which she graciously accepted, having previously commented to her friend “Wouldn’t that be a great story to tell our kids about how we met!” After a brief chat, Monte returned to his buddy at the bar, but when he looked around to find Yania to continue his conversation with her, to his dismay, she was nowhere to be found. She had disappeared without a trace! Presently, Monte learned that there was a basement club under the building. Was she there? The bouncer informed Monte that he could not enter unless he: 1. Had girls with him 2. Bought a table with 2 bottles (at the cost of $800) 3. Opened a bar tab with a minimum spend of $500. What was he to do?! Determined to find his bathroom beauty, Monte forked over the $500 to search for Yania, not knowing if she was even there! After an exhaustive search of the club, he found Yania and asked her to dance. So began the story of their love which has culminated in this day!
