A New Kind Of Business Meeting
/>Oh…I just can’t take it any more…when am I ever going to know about a trend in this city before the freaking New York Times tells me it’s a trend…which in NYC chronology the trend will be passe in an hour.
Not only do we have to know what the current it bag is…and according to every fashion blogger from Bag Snob to Style.com — bags at the moment are Flintstonian in size… — now we have to know that–everyone who is anyone–is conducting meetings during breakfast.
I don’t mean the long established “power breakfast” that is usually associated with the Wall Street crowd and takes place at the crack of dawn.
I mean the fashion-movie-dot com kids, who don’t have to be in the office until around 11am…or they don’t have to go in at all because they work from their Soho loft.
Adding insult to serious injury, we’re not talking Starbucks or Dunkin’ Doughnuts…we are talking about places in which a plate of eggs and a cafe-whacha-ma-callit will set you back about $20 bucks.
What’s the point of all of Le high-falootin’ Cheerios-festing? Networking, natch!
That is what we do in NYC…we leverage every possible moment of the day to possibly score everything from a date, to a sale, to a lucrative business opportunity…to even scoring a good seat at the bar at Babbo.
So, next time you’re here in the city…forget about the touristy side of life: dinner for god sake — have breakfast with those who make our movies and our clothes…hey, you might end up sitting next to Jude Law.
