We are so excited to gather all of our favorite people in one of our favorite places!  We hope you all have a chance to get out and explore the sights, tastes, and sounds of the City.  We consider our wedding weekend a love letter to this place as we get ready to move to Denver at the end of the year.

We moved here in a U-Haul truck in May 2016 a couple of days after graduating from Boston College – Kendra and Winston squealing in the passenger seat as Christian attempted to navigate the truck through Manhattan in the pouring rain. Our first meal in our new apartment – eaten on the kitchen floor – was Chinese takeout with a bottle of wine from the little wine shop across the street.  When we told the man in the wine shop we could only buy a twist top because we didn’t know where our wine opener was, he gave us the bottle and an opener on the house.  We’ve been in a love-hate relationship with the City ever since.  And now, eight years (and a lot of wine) later, that same wine shop has put together a curated wine and cocktail program for our big day!

We spent most of our 20s trying to soak up everything the City has to offer.  From tasting menus to dollar slices and $30 cocktails to beer-and-shot combos – New York truly has something for everyone and every occasion.  We hope each of you gets a chance to enjoy the parts of the City that resonate with you!  But in case you need some suggestions, below are some of our favorites from over the years.  

We’ve also maintained a map of all of the restaurants and bars we’ve been to over the years, accumulating hundreds of entries. Feel free to check it out and don’t forget to make your reservations in advance!
