They enter alone and in small groups, often single file, but by the time the citys brokers, politicians and landlords reach the mezzanine level of the New York Hilton, theyve already fanned out into concentric circles, each composed of friends and colleagues. And as the room continues to fill each year, so too do those clusters of men and women, each one separated by a mere foot or two from the next, and the next and the next. Indeed, with an estimated 2,200 guests expected to attend this years Real Estate Board of New York gala, those small footpaths will only narrow, making it more challenging than ever to connect with allies or retreat from rivals. Its with these considerations in mind that we at The Commercial Observer and REBNY have compiled a comprehensive seating chart inside the Hiltons Grand Ballroom, where employees of firms including Vornado Realty Trust (front and center) and the law firm Morrison & Foerster (near the bathrooms) can all eventually be found, or avoided, whichever the case may be. Take a look before the lights dim, draw up a plan and use this map, above and on the next page, as a resource.
