Laying Roots in NYC

After a two week moving extravaganza, I now have a new place to call home. NYC! Living in Edgewater, NJ is a hop over the Hudson to Manhattan but gives me a sense of quiet and calm. I can see the city from many of the hundred windows I have in my home! (And I'm serious. One bedroom alone has 14!) We are so excited to officially be residents complete with a Parking Sticker and everything. As you can imagine, we are going to love living here but we are also loving working here. Today is my first day back in the "work saddle" (no Texas roots pun intended here), and I have this sense of having the opportunity to do anything that I can come up with just because of the location. There are so many networking benefits, social events, networking meetups and just a sense of everyone in this industry wanting to bounce ideas & creative thoughts off of others. It's a huge community of social, search, creative & media sources here. In the coming weeks I will be scouting locations in the NYC area to house our new Jennifer Barbee, Inc. New York offices. We are very excited to get this plan off the ground. It's been a long time coming and it's getting very close. I'll keep the blog updated on the progress of the office opening as well as networking events I am attending, social events that I attend and how those worked out for business opportunities for fellow New Yorkers looking for some beneficial events to attend. I won't forget to mention the open bar or drink specials as well. :) Don't worry.
