Barely more than 24 hours after getting laid off, I had a networking lunch. I met the awesome Natasha, the voice behind the Physique 57 social media presences, for lunch at Local in SoHo. Before joining Physique, she did social media consulting, so I asked her advice and told her what an awesome job she does with Physique’s social media presence. We both chose the same sandwich–turkey with avocado, bacon and goodness.
It’s a gorgeous day in NYC, so I rode my bike down to meet her, about three miles. I made it there alive! I was shocked. I was also shocked to see, when I finished lunch, that my bike was still there. I locked it up, but I’ve heard horror stories of people’s bikes being stolen in NYC. To get there, I rode through the streets, because it was fastest. On my way back, I took a more leisurely route going across West Houston to the water.

Why does this look so blurry?
Oh, right. I had my lens on manual focus.
Tonight I have my Junior League End of the Year party, so no more blogging today! Or really, for quite some time tomorrow either.

Wow, go you! You've definitely got the ball rolling on other opportunities already! Looks like it was a great day for a bike ride :)
How fun to ride your bike to lunch. You are super proactive to be out and meeting with people already. GO GIRL!
A few years ago biking in NYC didn't feel safe, but these days it's easy! So many bike lanes...
Sounds like you have a good attitude. You'll find another job soon. And in the meantime, enjoy summer!
Very impressed with your bike riding in the middle of NYC on so many levels!
