NYC prospects
Jan. 14th, 2002 07:36 pmAnother week, another business trip... this time to a strange land where I haven't been in 14 years -- Manhattan. There's a robotics company in the SoHo/downtown area. For some reason, this seems weird... why more than if it were, say, in downtown Boston or LA? I'm staying in the southeastern tip of Manhattan, near Canal St. and Lafayette -- any friends (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clairaide ?)have any suggestions for restaurants or things to do down there?
Wednesday night I will meet a friend (for the first time) that I've been communicating online with for months, in the alt.poly newsgroup and in chat. I've never tried the "meet online and then in person" approach to making friendships before, and I'm a bit nervous...
I also feel a bit strange because this meeting with Honeybee has been already postponed twice... originally it was set for 9/11, then bumped to 9/13 because Honeywell moved their RLV review to 9/10-11 in Phoenix. I was due then to stay in the WTC Marriott, across the street from one of the towers. I don't think the hotel exists anymore. Creepy. And the 9/13 meeting obviously got bumped again, ultimately to this week.
