Happy Hour Route Planner: Lower Manhattan Wind Down

For a downtown rivergrid evening in New York City, begin with the decision that changes every other choice: river grid comes before the optional detour. Tell Karpo APP the stone arcade meeting reference, the downtown tower departure, the headcount, and the preference nobody can compromise. This downtown rivergrid brief asks for a first stop, a meal or snack decision, and one small extension only if the group still wants it.
