Anyone been to one of these? Pretty legit? I just moved to NYC so I'm looking forward to meeting some new people

 

@"MBA_Junkie": Geez, no. Just a couple high tables with a small WSO sign on it. Anybody standing in close proximity can be assumed to be a monkey.

Haven't been on in awhile, but might stop by this one

@Commuter : If it was the Galway, I'd say yes. For this place, I'd recommend at least a collared shirt.

For those inquiring about the dress code, @Commuter and @Skinnayyy the crowd at 48 Lounge is almost entirely professionals--so although dress jeans and collared shirts are fine, it can't hurt to step it up the dress a little.

@JustNumbers : We haven't developed the relationship with this place where they'll give us drink specials yet. You'll have to sweet-talk someone into buying you a drink.

Haha I just don't like over dressing on a Friday because then you get the typical "What, do you have a job interview or something" questions and everything.

Lucky (not really lucky) I worked from home today so I still haven't even gotten dressed yet.

Won't be in Manhattan tomorrow but I'll be in for the first time Tuesday and Wednesday next week. No agenda to speak of so I'll be roaming midtown both nights. So if anyone anticipates needing a mid-week drink, PM me.

Make opportunities. Not excuses.
 

@Skinnayyy I've never gotten that question at Happy Hour. But plenty of people roll in straight from the office.

Oh no, I'm not talking about at Happy hour, I'm talking about at work when I'm in there wearing a suit, or something like that and everyone else is wearing jeans a t-shirt because that's what a usual Friday at my office is like.

You can never overdress at 48Lounge. But business casual is a good standby. That's what I'll be wearing since I'm coming from work and then Mass.

Currently sitting on my coach since I left work at like 4:30 but will be venturing 50 blocks back up to attend my first.

It was great meeting everyone that came out.

Also, @"In The Flesh" thanks for organizing everything, it was a good time and I still can't remember what the beer you had me try was, but it was pretty good.
