He doesn't even say what business this was for. And don't tell me it was for Bradford & Reed... why would they need to impress clients - why are clients even going to a Manhattan corporate office to buy greeting cards?
I'll bet you're right about it being for Bradford & Reed -- I've seen some people who feel slighted because they're young try to overcompensate with glamorous office space, even when they're only trying to impress their employees.

Good question. Wish I asked that at the time.
My clients were the sponsors who bought my ads.
Like you said, they hardly ever came to NYC to meet. Pretty much all my business was done by phone or I flew to a clients' office.
But when I had a dinky office in Queens, one of my clients came to see me. And I was embarrassed when he saw my office.
And instead of being smart and dismissing it, I magnified the incident in my head.
