More random thoughts from New York. -being right across the street from the office is pretty convenient. A 5 min walk is a nice contrast to the usual 35min commute.
-went out for lunch with a coworker and he took me to a place called Beacon. I ordered a $19 hamburger with fries and "custom" ketchup. Not bad, but for $19 you'd expect something pretty awesome which it wasn't.
-lots of European tourists walking around 5th Ave during the day. Strong Euro and weak dollar means great shopping deals for the Euros.
-My coworker pointed out the Abercrombie & Fitch store on 5th Ave doubles as a trendy nightclub at night. There's even a velvet rope outside the door during the day and when it gets busy, you sometimes have to wait outside to get in ... just to shop. How incredibly pretentious.
-the office is in the GM building which has been decked out in the ground floor lobby to look like the inside of an iPod or something. Everything's white with silver accents and there's these pointless flashing red lights in the elevator that don't tell you what floor you're on or anything useful.
