| You didn't think Bisnow would forget about lunch, did you? We stopped by AREW's event ye sterday at 101 Park to hear keynoter Greg David, editorial director of Crain's New York Business (with AREW prez Jennifer McCool of Moynihan Station Venture and Crain's Jill Kaplan). He's determining NYC's bottom by watching three things: Atlantic Yards, particularly the court's ruling on eminent domain and how Forest City Ratner will finance the project; West Side Rail Yards' delay and whether Related will close on the project; and his friend Mike, who moved from Merrill Lynch to a hedge fund—if he keeps his job, it means that the financials will get through this market. |

| ERM Architecture's Edward McGinnis, Brown Harris Stevens' Alice Palmisano, and Anne Teshima. Anne recently left her job at Classic Realty, and says she doesn't know what to do with all this free time. She's been attending lunches and meeting with people she hasn't seen for years, and just bought herself a new tennis racquet. Perhaps she can break it in during the warmer weekend. |

| Paramount Painting's Erin Van Benthem, appraiser Christina Pae, HOK's Kimberly Dowdell and Kimball Office's Barbara Giaquinto. Christina recently returned from Uruguay and Argentina, and heads to Egypt in March. Talk about the upside of a slower market! |
