They keep the black helicopters under the >tablecloths. Thirty or so years ago, my wife was flying[*] back from her parents into LaGuardia. She got to talking with the man in the adjacent seat and found that he too was going to Poughkeepsie. She mentioned that I worked for IBM and he replied that he worked for the CIA. Everyone within earshot turned around and looked at them. [*] Faviorte bumper sticker; "I've been in a bad mood since the house fell on my sister".

I doubt NECI uses NECCOs in their classes (or food - same thing).

I ate there several times, though never diner in the main restaurant. NECI didn't have the reputation that the Escoffier room at the CIA had. http://www.ciachef.edu/restaurants/default.asp I'm not a fan of Europeon food, so never went there either. |
