Corin & Marat met in NYC's Chinatown at a bar called Sweet Paradise in 2008. Marat bought Corin a drink, and they made plans to visit Brooklyn Museum together. In the following weeks, Corin discovered that Marat was a voracious reader with an incredible sense of humor. Marat, meanwhile, was drawn in by Corin’s firecracker spirit—and they’ve been sparking each other’s lives ever since.
