Drinking at the office

 

Prime number: Drinking at the office

Nick Iluzada

If you want to get into NYC’s most exclusive hotspot, you’ll have to work—not to get past an intimidating bouncer, but to crunch numbers for Jamie Dimon. Morgan’s, the employee-only English pub on the 13th floor of JPMorgan’s new Park Avenue headquarters, has become so popular that younger staffers are making reservations weeks out to score one of its coveted tables, the Wall Street Journal reports. You don’t need an analyst to spot the problem with the pub’s fundamentals: ~10,000 people work in the HQ and Morgan’s has 55 seats, per the WSJ. And even though it doesn’t permit day drinking, those seats are in demand. To alleviate the crush, the bank changed its policy so reservations aren’t required—but you’ll probably still need one (and an employee friend) to cross “splitting the G” at a table surrounded by finance titans off your bucket list.
