Tell us a little a bit about your wedding I was dressed as little red-riding hood and he was a wolf, making for some cute Halloween engagement pics from his friend who was hiding in the crowd. David surprised me outside the New York Public Library near Bryant Park on the steps on our way into a Halloween party there. We obviously love Halloween so our proposal story is Halloween related as well. That was in 2018 and we’ve been inseparable ever since □ What is your proposal story? That was a Wednesday and we were on our first date that Saturday. He asked for my phone number before we parted ways and we got off at the same station. We talked the entire time and got on the train together. At some point, David commented on a patch on my jean jacket and from there we started chatting and time seemed to melt away until the train came. My phone was dead so I had nothing to do but wait. I (Caitlin) was on my way home from a Lorde show and David was on his way home from meeting up with friends. ![]() With large windows and the Pearl Street Triangle right outside its open glass doors, the DUMBO loft is an excellent filming location.David and I have a rare NYC meet-cute story because we actually met on the subway!

The simple brick facade, articulated by segmented openings and projecting lintels and sills, marks the DUMBO Loft as an example of the American round arch style. Cole sold the building in 1920 to L&H Stern, manufacturers of smoking pipes and accessories. In 1905, Edward Cole used the factory to make steam fittings then leasing out the property to Phillips, Doup & Company, who built steam heaters. Luckily, the DUMBO Loft building wasn’t affected by the construction of the bridge and has a long history of manufacturing ironwork and other materials. Many of these factories in the area were demolished to make way for the Manhattan Bridge. This brought in William Taylor & Sons Columbian Iron Works on Adams and Water Street, a sign-making company, a brass foundry, a two-story machine shop, and storage facility for E. Cole established it as one of the most industrial neighborhoods in the city. Originally a residential block, the DUMBO neighborhood developed into a major factory area in the late 1800s-early 1900s.
