<p>My thinking for allowing the question</p>

<ol>
<li>it's on topic</li>
<li>it's useful - not just for me, but for any future person in the NYC area </li>
<li>it scales reasonably well - there are only so many places that the question can be asked. Boston, London, SF, etc</li>
<li>there's no better place to get an answer to this question</li>
</ol>
