Our Story

Are you wondering why the website is called “Two by Land, and Sea”? No? We are still going to tell you…

Our most favorite restaurant is located in the West Village, New York. That was the place where we ended up celebrating Irina’s 30th birthday, on our first visit to the Big Apple. A few years later, this was also the destination during a crazy weekend-trip, and finally the place where Andreas proposed to Irina.

Some people claim that “One if by Land, Two if by Sea” (which is the name of the restaurant) is one of the worlds most romantic restaurants. For us it is the place where we love to spend time, browse through our memories and enjoy being us.

Now, there is of course a story to the name, which goes back to America fighting for independence. In a poem called “Paul Revere’s Ride“, a lantern  should be lightened in a curch tower if the Britains are coming by land, two lanterns if they approach by sea.

If you are ever in New York, we recommend to book a table for a lovely dinner, and if you are going to get a drink or two (there is also a nice bar), cheer on us!
