Couple had romantic Valentine's Day dinner... on a New York City subway platform

"She really likes Union Square itself..." 🤔

New York City subways are grimy, loud and not the most romantic place to celebrate a relationship—but for some reason, none of that stopped Mohammad Choudry from choosing a subway platform as the location for a Valentine's Date dinner.

With a makeshift dinner table adorned with balloons, Choudry surprised his wife of nine years, Johnnybell Sanchez, on the platform Monday night.

While people around them were commuting to and from work, the Bronx couple dined on lobster rolls while enjoying live music in the station, booked by Choudry himself.

"She really likes Union Square itself," he explained to a reporter from News 4 New York. "I figured this is a great location to do a quick celebratory Valentine's Day dinner."

"I was so surprised," Sanchez exclaimed before thankfully admitting it was a little weird. "He's never done anything like this before so I'm really proud of him."

It’ll be tough for Choudry to out-do himself next year. May we suggest Grand Central Station?
