I'll be in NYC in mid-March and I'd love to find somewhere to work for a few days and some people to meet up with while I'm out there. Can you help?
Looks like I'll be out in NYC this March for the first time ever and I'm really looking forward to seeing the city. However, I'll be working while I'm out there (at least through the day) so where is the best place to get that done? Some standard options include frequenting cafes but I'd also like to explore options like co-working spaces and any friendly offices that someone has a spare desk at.
I'd also like to meet up with anyone out there who'd be kind enough to show me some of the sights and/or talk about the Web and gaming. I'd also love to use this opportunity to do an evening talk or two if there are any local events happening mid-March. I'm basically open to anything really!
Oh, and where is a good area of the city to stay?
Let me know if you or anyone you know might be able to help me make my stay in NYC a fun one.

I’d recommend hanging with the Nodejitsu guys at http://generalassemb.ly
Probably a great scene there. Also Etsy may be able to share a desk for you and HUGE is across the street and they are totally rad.

If you have unlimited funds then I’d say stay in Midtown as you’ll be able to walk to many places in the central area, or take a cab or taxi to other areas. If you are trying to save some cash, you can stay in Jersey City, Brooklyn, or even areas of Queens and take a quick subway ride into Manhattan.
Send me an email, I’d be willing to show you around and take you to some of the hot spots.

I love your game. If I have time when you get here in NYC I’ll buy you a beer.

@Paul: Thanks dude, I appreciate the help. I know a couple guys at Nodejitsu so I’ve reached out to them. Looks like I should be speaking at NYHTML5 which will be fun. Let me know if there’s anything else that I shouldn’t be missing out on.
@L.A. Nolan: Thanks for the tips! I think I’ll be staying somewhere near Times Square, or at least somewhere vaguely central.
@Milton: Glad you enjoy the game. We’ll have to work out when I arrive whether you have time.
