Brunch, pizza, rooftops…We, New Yorkers, have many passions. But perhaps nothing captures our fancy quite as much as technology, no? We’re not exactly known for our patience; and if you actually *like* the idea of a leisurely 2-hr lunch you should have stayed in Europe, expats. This week, mingle with the CTOs at Rent the Runway, the company that endlessly entertains our fashion ADHD; join the winners’ club at the most technologically advanced running studio in town; modernize your mani experience; and take a VR trip to verdant Scotland with generous servings of single malt Scotch. Just a simple life on the fast lane…
