NaBloPoMo Day 25: Coffee in the Acela Lounge at Penn Station
Actually there's no coffee in the Acela Lounge
A business associate was coming into the city from out of town. We'll call him Pete. Pete suggests we meet in midtown.
"Sure," I say and pause to consider a good place.
Pete jumps in, "We should just meet in the Acela Lounge at Penn Station."
"Ok," I reply. Pete probably had a train in or out right before or after and I have nothing against using time wisely.
Fast forward to the day of our meeting:
The Acela Lounge is basically wall to wall chairs. It's like a playhouse in SoHo that's in the basement where they show one-acts by emerging artists. There's no coffee. There's also no tables. It's odd to have a meeting with someone sitting directly across from you with no table in between.
"When did your train get in?" I ask Pete.
"Yesterday," he says.
"Oh. When do you leave then?" I ask.
"Tomorrow," replies Pete.
Alrighty then.
So we both traveled to Penn Station to meet in the Acela Lounge and not drink coffee when all around us is New. York. City.
Note to self: Select the restaurant from now on. Engage in fisticuffs if necessary.
