Take 31 is one of Christopher's favorite places in NYC - especially for the spam balls and tteokboki.
The site of our first date - the first and only time Jeffrey was ever late!
The place where it all began! Jeffrey and Christopher met here in 2018 and again in 2019 for a holiday party hosted by the organization, Also Known As. It was also the site of their goodbye party before heading west in 2022.
The Ellington was one of our go-to's when we lived on the UWS from 2021 through 2022.
Good food and plentiful drinks! The owner here is a very sweet man named Elis or possibly Eli, and he always made sure to give us extra Vespers.
The oldest gay bar in Manhattan and one of Jeffrey's favorites, especially for the martinis.
Whenever staying at Jeffrey's place in Brooklyn, this bagel place right down the street was the perfect morning tradition.
Our first movie date where we ate brunch and saw the classic romcom, When Harry Met Sally.
The place where Christopher and Jeffrey (allegedly) became early adopters of Covid in February 2020. But, hey, the champagne on tap is a nice touch.
The only park that reliably got us outdoors (it probably doesn't hurt that it includes a bar!).
Many a summer afternoon spent here with friends during the pandemic.
One of our favorite Brooklyn-based spots for Japanese ramen and snacks.
For vintage and gently used clothes, look no further. Great menswear selection!
As the name implies, we love a good happy hour deal!
This is one of our favorite book stores near our apartment on the Upper West Side. They also have a location in Rochester!
