Bill -- best photos I've seen from inside the NYC flagship. They really make me anxious to get there to see it for myself.
As for the fake cheesesteak stand, I'm so far removed from my native cuisine (if cheesesteaks and hoagies qualify as cuisine) that I'll even take the fake NY version at this point. Heck, this Summer I had a cheesesteak in North Carolina and enjoyed it -- I don't think I could have said that a few years ago.

I told Ben he would be in good hands once he arrived in NYC. I knew Bill and Kevin were on hand to show him the delights of Flagship Boutique (and yes...I was extremely jealous)!!! Safe travels home, Ben! I enjoyed meeting you and I think you managed a good "one, two punch" for this U.S. sojourn!
This was a great photo report, Bill! You are the master at documenting these events!

Good to see that Kevin did not appear in any photo wearing and/or holding the IW5032-03!
Excellent inside the Boutique shots - gives a great and true impression of just how impressive the Boutique is.
Mark,
As I was leaving the Boutique, Bill had already left, Noreen and Patrick brought this out for me to once again try on, they are such enablers. Thinking 2013 maybe the year I pull the trigger on this.

Bill - Kevin - are you considered as back up Boutique staff yet ?
Ben - after experiencing Bill and Kevin in their boutique hosting role I am sure you had a great time.
Bill. - did you get a new wide angle lens for your camera. You have taken some of the best photos of the boutique I have seen. I love the photo with you all protecting your watched-wrists. Cool.

Yes, I was testing out my new Nikkor 14-24 mm ultra wide angle lens. Very astute observation, Andrew.

Btw, thanks everyone for the kudos. As Kevin said, whenever anyone is in NYC, we are always ready for a Big Apple / Flagship Boutique GTG. It's a great tradition now for us and the Boutique staff as well.
I know Alan wishes he could help carry on the tradition as well, but his relocation to warmer climes will limit, but not eliminate his joining us.

Glad that the three of you had such a great day.
