"Leaving your apartment for a day in ny feels oddly like preparing for a day on the playa (especially in summer). You prepare for weather elements like heat and rain, make sure you're well equipped with money, umbrella, blackberry and charger. You find refuge (bathrooms, ac, water) in the various offices you visit and truly appreciate hotels which feel like well placed oasis's much like a cool friendly tent."

-- Burner and entrepeneur and good guy Mark Pincus, spending some time in NYC.
