It&nbsp;has Mendy&#8217;s, a kosher sandwhich and soda place, and a Mendy&#8217;s white-tablecloth place, right there. It is an artily designed, airconditioned, little-used lobby, with greenery and&nbsp;a little waterfall, and places to sit. Free. You don&#8217;t have to buy anything to sit. The Galleria also has a little, out-door, waterfall vestpocket park. Free. The Galleria is not far from the Borders bookstore on 57th and Park, but the Borders&nbsp;coffee shop is not kosher. You can have the kosher sandwich at the Galleria, and then wander West&nbsp;to Borders, and talk about the books. If you feel like chatting under the trees, free,&nbsp;in the enclosed,&nbsp; public,&nbsp;street level Bamboo Forest at the IBM building at 56th and Madison, nobody is going to stop you either. If you can manage to go there&nbsp;before 12&nbsp;noon or after&nbsp;2,&nbsp;it will not be crowded. All these things are near every possible subway and bus, if you need to end&nbsp;the conversation,&nbsp;and go on your way. You can get a job near there too, to pay for the sandwich. $1600 a month or so will get you a small studio apartment nearby,&nbsp;if it works out.<\/p>\n<p>Let us see a whole lot of dark-eyed beauties whispering to nice young men in the shadows of the palms inside&nbsp;the Galleria on 57th between, I think, Lexington and Park, on the uptown side of the street.&nbsp;Wear some black and put your hair up, honey. Wear a nice sandal, no track shoes allowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anonymous posts on Jewcy: Anybody who wants to have a quiet chat in a beautiful place, free, in mid-town Manhattan can use the lobby of the Galleria on 57th Street.
