John's Pizzeria

[Wednesday 5th November]
Another day of meetings and presentations at the New York office today. I actually gave two presentations today, and I think both of them went reasonably well. A lot of people's talks this week were just "show and tell" - pretty much just a simple description of whatever they happened to work on. One of mine today was a lot more purposeful than that, it was bordering on evangelical, intended to inform other people working on the project how to do more effective analysis of some of the interesting data sources we have at our fingertips. It was great to do a talk like that, with a real message to get across, and moreover with the belief that the audience could really do something useful with the information therein.

In the evening there was a company organised event (bowling or some such) but a number of us decided to skip that, and instead just go out for dinner and a few drinks. A few nights ago I had spotted a pizza place in Greenwich village called "John's pizzeria" which somewhat unsurprisingly had stuck in my memory. I'd had a late meeting with a few other people, and given that other others in the group were equally unenamoured with the idea of going bowling, they came along for pizza too. Rather oddly, on arrival at the pizza place, pretty much everyone else on the project was also there - I hadn't discussed with anyone else that I was planning on going there, and it was a fair distance from the office (and New York is hardly short of pizzerias), so that was a bit odd.

Anywho, we had pizza there which was pretty good - I asked some US colleagues how they thought it rated, and they all seemed to think it was pretty good too. New York has something of a reputation for pizza, however whilst I did enjoy it, it was oddly comforting to rather smugly think to myself I'd had better elsewhere - both at Olivetto back in the UK, and of course on my various visits to Italy.

After John's pizzeria a few of us were still in the mood to go for another drink or two, and so we went to a "pub" stlye bar, which was fairly average, followed by a return visit to the rather nice Japanese izakaya place I had found on my first night in New York. Having been there twice it is now officially my regular haunt in the big apple.

Hey! More healthy food!

Fortunately you saved yourself adding the"various visits to Italy" bit :D
