Staff Retreat Par Excellence


Our DCI offices are in Union Square in New York City. It's an amazing neighborhood - tons of shopping, excellent hot spots for eating, etc.

And from Jan. 3-4, our staff met at our offices for our annual retreat. It was a great time, as always. We talked about goals, the past, the future and all things DCI. We learned more about our pro bono client, Aid to Artisans, and also learned about sales from Bill Whitley.


But the best part about the staff retreat? Socializing. The first night for the 3rd Annual Teddy Awards (named after our founder, Ted Levine), we ate and drank at Borgo Antico Ristorante at 22 E 13th Street (off University Place). A good - and raucous - time was had by all.


The next night, Friday night, we went to Haru Restaurant. It was a cool atmosphere, but we got kicked out, because we hadn't reserved the space for the full night. So everyone migrated to The Coffee Shop in Union Square. I thought it was a fun place, but this review (linked) is dead-on; the waiters and bartenders are "the beautiful people," waiting to be discovered.
