An inspiring and heartwarming collection of true love stories from the creators behind the viral Instagram and TikTok account @meetcutesnyc
In 2023, three friends-Jeremy Bernstein, Aaron Feinberg, and Victor Lee-took to the streets of New York City to ask couples how they met and what the secret sauce is to staying together. Today, they have more than 4 million followers on Instagram and TikTok, and more than 300 million views, on TikTok, captivating audiences around the world.
For the first time in print, Meet Cutes NYC is a collection of 75 stories-a mix of new and fan favorites-alongside beautiful portraits of the couples, photographed exclusively for the book. Each interview opens the same way, "Excuse me, are you two a couple?" Followed by, "Can you tell us the story of how you met?" But the stories are each unique-like Chris and Clay, who met while auditioning for West Side Story (they both got it). And Joe and Liza met in a hardware store-while Liza was with her boyfriend at the time. There are stories of couples who met on public transportation, at a party, through friends, at work, at church-you truly never know where you might find love. There are also stories of second chances-like Mike and Karen-who met in college, broke up, and then bumped into each other again two years later, walking toward each other Third Avenue; they fell into a kiss and have been married for 37 years.
Beyond how they met, couples share their partner's favorite traits, what they love to do together, and how they make their relationships work. Meet Cutes NYC is a celebration of modern-day love connections-across all ages, genders, and backgrounds. From couples who just met to those who have been together for decades. The book is a refreshing dose of real love stories, from real people. It will appeal to anyone in love or looking for love, to glean advice and inspiration from.
