well, I live in upstate NY myself. But I'd be a very boring date... after the markets close and I'm done with work, the only thing I won't talk about is trading. Hit me up about hunting, fishing, honeybees, current events, football, world history, the meaning of life... I'm good for hours. As for financial markets & trading, it's not something I really want to talk about for recreation. I realize that's not the case for many/most traders, but at this stage of my career the mystery and luster of market action has waned
perhaps a meet in eastern NY (capital region) since many are in central to eastern (including NYC) part of the state.
