Bite New York, New York…
Bite NY poses for the camera
Yesterday was a big day for the New York office – after five fun filled years, it was time to say a (not so) emotional goodbye to our functional but ‘not very Bite-like’ serviced office near Grand Central Terminal and say a big hello to the brand new Bite New York Towers in the very cool and happening Flatiron district. Our new residence is just a stone’s throw from the Big Apple’s finest treasures including, 5th avenue, Madison Square Park and culinary delights like Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack and the fancy Flatiron Lounge. Last but by no means least there’s also the world famous Flatiron building (for those who don’t know it is in fact actually shaped like a large flat iron).
Our new space is what many of us are referring to as ‘very Bite’ – a big airy space, a wash of bright colors (yes lime green and bright orange do work together), completely open plan and of course complete with ping pong table and Wii Station (there is also a military style boot camp downstairs on the 2nd floor which I hear is where General Mills is going to send naughty Biters when necessary, yikes). Special thanks goes to Bite NY’s Alisha Martin and also the supporting West Coast opps team – Helen Fuell, Dan Chase and Greg Wei for bringing this all together with much wizardry.
Highlights from day one have been in abundance; from being reprimanded by the front desk sergeant for not using the service elevator to Sara Giles attempting to play an energetic game of ping pong in four inch heels and a short skirt, to seeing Hollywood Megastar Ethan Hawke having a very fraught conversation on his mobile phone outside the front door (I am told he was looking brooding, not moody). So 38 West 21st Street, it’s great to make your acquaintance…I have the feeling this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship.
Unquestionably, the City that never sleeps now has an office to rival the abandoned bus depot authenticity of Bite London and the spectacular views of Bite San Francisco (and – no doubt other offices across the globe) for sheer cool.
Change the address in your contacts book, watch out for the housewarming invite and stop by and see us anytime.
