BREKKIE


(Petite) MarieBette

Two locations, both open for breakfast and lunch.

Their motto is Vive Le Gluten! but Lauren tries not
to take that personally.


Bodo's Bagels

An all-day haunt for bagels, eggs, and sandwiches.

Fun fact: Lauren has been craving a Bodo's bagel for a decade. Go enjoy one for her.

DINNER


Tilman's

Wine bar with salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie.

For Lauren, a perfectly-sized dinner.
For Brian, a snack.


Ten

A nice dinner of sushi and Japanese small plates.

Fun fact: Brian could eat sushi for every meal.
Lauren could not.

DRINKS


Fitzroy

Bar food, and a great place to grab a beer.

Brian used to be a bar-back here in college, which is why he is now legendary at washing dishes.


The Alley Light

French small plates and from-scratch cocktails.
Great for dinner, dessert, or just drinks.

A literal light at the end of the tunnel.





GIFTS

Your presence is gift enough, but we appreciate the gesture regardless.

A good book would not be remiss for our small but growing library.
A card box will also be available at the reception, and we have a small registry at Williams Sonoma.
