We threw a phat soiree on New Year's Eve after 3 weeks of intensive buildout.

In early December, the espresso bar had been just a sparkle in our eyes.

We scrambled a team and the place took shape fast. Our master technician, Tomas, fine-tuned the new La Marzocco espresso machine.

Meanwhile, window shoppers sauntered by.

Our NYC boss, Mike, did some window shopping of his own. Can I get one of those for business travel?

Sometimes taxicabs are pretty.

Sometimes crotch-rockets fly jolly rogers.
