Ask HN: Does anybody want to get a coffee/lunch near Penn station on Wednesday?

Apropos of the thread about making friends: I'm taking Amtrak from Florida to Montreal, and stopping over in New York on Wednesday. I think I'm getting in around 11:00a.m., and departing about 9:00a.m. the next morning.

I'm a dev of about 4 years and I'd love to hear about what you're doing in NY/what the NY hacker scene is like/what the NY startup scene is like/how you like living in NY. I've worked doing development with a geographic bent for FSU, for the Florida Senate, as well as for two private companies. Right now I'm working in agriculture, and in my free time building a tool to help organizers and activists make better decisions.

Are you attending startup school? I will be heading to Penn Station in the early morning / early afternoon. I am a marketing/business/developer hybrid from Long Island. Always looking to network!

Awesome! No, I'm not. I wasn't familiar with it until I googled it just now. I'm not of an especially entrepreneurial bent, although it is starting to have more and more appeal. I've been doing contract work, and I can't see why I wouldn't want to turn it into a proper business. Hmu! I'd love to talk about what you have going on.
