Meeting Places

Where you meet says so much about you. Many up-market hotels have lobbies that you can sit in. Often no drink expected. A pot of coffee costs the same as a Starbucks latte.

  • Marriott Marquis Lobby (1535 Broadway) – busy and professional; central location with Starbucks in the Lobby
  • Royalton Hotel (44 West 44th Street)
  • Mandarin Hotel (Time Warner Center, Columbus Circle, 56th Floor - come before 5pm to get a table)
