Audrey Heyman and Jesse Goldin
We’ve all heard of “love at first sight,” but what about “love at first
song”?
Audrey Heyman and Jesse Goldin shared a moment at a karaoke
night at Astoria Tavern one year ago with some help from Fiona Apple.
As Heyman was standing in line to put in her song (“Criminal” by
Apple), Goldin approached her and asked what song she was going
to sing.
“I played it coy and told him he had to wait and see,” Heyman said.
“He stood at the front of the crowd while I sang, cheering along the
whole time. His enthusiasm was so refreshing; he wasn’t trying to play
it cool or hard to get. I even got a high-five from him afterwards, too.”
Goldin got her number. For their first date, they decided to go to
Wolfhound on 30th Avenue, and after, Goldin suggested they go to
the karaoke bar Shout! on Steinway.
“We didn’t realize that they were hosting a live musician that night,
and we found ourselves singing along to all of his classic rock covers.
We knew every song,” Heyman said.
For Christmas, Heyman gifted Goldin Billy Joel tickets. They will be
spending Valentine’s Day at Madison Square Garden, probably singing
their hearts out.
