Date Emma

Planning a special rendezvous for us is always a great way to set yourself apart as a gentleman who goes above and beyond to ensure our time together is as memorable as possible. As a woman with extensive tastes and a penchant for luxurious escapades, I love being able to share them with you. Whether you need assistance preparing for our upcoming date - or want to learn more about my tastes and preferences, below you’ll find a curated list of activities for us to enjoy. 

The world is our oyster baby, and while simply being together will be a treat in itself, there is nothing like the heedful extravagance of fine dining and the deliciously sweet anticipation that builds as we pass flirtatious glances across the table. 

Whether in SF or NYC, both cities boast an impressive list of culinary delights for our epicurean pleasures. The dining experience that always leaves you wanting more!
