"Date" merely means you'll be joined by a W+Ker at the front door who will escort you to the lunch location. At that point, that "date" is over... unless it's a good convo and you want to keep talking.
gaeyia - a big thank you for responding so quickly to all of the concerns from the community and for making adjustments in the format to allow more people to participate. Hope you are having fun in NYC!
Thanks for the hard work in putting this together!
