UPPER EAST SIDE — In celebration of the Supreme Court legalizing same-sex marriages nationwide, seafood restaurant BKB is offering free dinners to couples who tie the knot between June 26 and July 3.

"I felt pumped this morning and thought about what I could possibly do to pay homage to this great turn in the U.S.," said Adam Miller, who co-owns the restaurant at 321 E. 73rd St.

Two appetizers, two entrees and a round of drinks will be included in the meal. The menu includes short ribs, crab cakes, Montauk Pearl oysters, lobster rolls and BKB's burger.

Newlyweds should book their reservations on OpenTable, include "#LoveWins" in their notes and bring in a photo from the wedding with a timestamp or copy of the dated marriage license to be eligible. The reservation can be valid for a future date.

Miller said he's thinking about hosting a wedding at the restaurant on East 73rd Street and its East Hampton outpost within the next few weeks. He said he would like couples to "pitch their case" as to why they would want to have their wedding there.

"It would be a love story we want to be a part of," he said.
