For those of you in New York who know me, you will have heard me talk about the fabulous ‘Star Trek Lounge’ (not its real name)where I spend many afternoons holed up when working off-site.  Located near Penn Station, it featured a sort of upscale food court and a stadium seating room with captain’s chairs and cooler chests.  It was the perfect place to stop and grab a bite and call in for conference calls, hold impromptu meetings, and hang out for hours when you needed a place to work.   And, hello, public bathrooms that were clean and spacious.

‘Was’ is the operative word.  Yesterday, I went to my staff meeting which had recently moved to the Star Trek lounge – so named by my colleagues because of the ‘captain chairs’ in the seating area – and the doors were locked, the windows papered over, and the signage was gone!  Heart-broken!  We loved the lounge, and their falafel burger wasn’t bad either.

How could this be?  Where will I find another unknown gem in New York? 

Sigh.

As ever,
