I think it was a large, otherwise unoccupied room on the mezzanine where a social was held one morning, complete with a generous display of breakfast pastries. After everyone had left, another man and I were looking for a place to chat. To my dismay, I cannot remember his identity; if he reads this, I hope he will set me straight, so I can slap my forehead and exclaim, "Of course!" This empty room beckoned, but, as we soon discovered, it had been re-occupied by what must have been hundreds of little mice feasting on the morning's leavings. They seemed unconcerned by us and were no obstacle to our brief business, so we all co-existed peaceably for a few minutes until the two of us left, our conversation concluded.

It was called the Penta at the time. Sorry it couldn't have been saved in some fashion. From the conference program: The New York Penta Hotel is located in Midtown Manhattan on Seventh Avenue between 32nd and 33rd streets. It is directly across the street from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, just two blocks south of Macy's and a block west of Herald Square and the newly opened A&S Plaza. Designed by McKim, Mead and White in 1904, the New York Penta first opened its doors in 1919 as Hotel Pennsylvania. The hotel reopened in 1985 after a $35 million renovation. There are 1,700 guest rooms on its eighteen floors. The Moghul Room offers Indian cuisine for lunch and dinners, while The Globetrotter Restaurant serves more traditional fare. Cocktails and schmoozing possibilities are provided in any of three hotel sites: the Bierstuhe, The Penn Bar, or The Lobby Lounge. In addition, the hotel houses a barber shop and a beauty salon, theater ticket and sightseeing information desk, and many other services. The registration desk and the hotel concierge will be available for local information and sightseeing advice. Conference registration information will include further details on nearby restaurants and shopping areas. The Hotel is on Seventh Avenue & 33rd Street, telephone (212) PEnnsylvania 6-5000.
