strange question, for manhattan people

I have an interview with GS in its 180 Maiden Lane office. my plane arrives in NYC at around 8AM but my interview isn't until afternoon. can anyone recommend a quite place (like a library?) near that office where i can study/prepare?

if no such place exist, then i would go to starbuck's.

There is a great old cemetary and church across the street less than 2 blocks down.

Not wired, but good place for reflection.

On warmer days, lots of people go there to ea their take-away lunch.

Good luck to you.

 

Its a great place for reflection...  Whenever you're having a shit day, you can always go there to remind yourself that however shit your day is, there are thousands of people 6-feet under you, who would love to have the shit day you're having...

Whatever your bonus, however big your condo, and whatever car you drive, you will biting dust sooner or later...
