When I launched my second book, Feminine Silence, in New York this September, something funny happened. After the event, my friends — all longtime New Yorkers — asked me where we should go next to celebrate. The irony was not lost on me: they live here, I don’t anymore, and yet somehow I still had the answer.
When I was told that we’d be living at Redmond Town Center (RTC) for the summer as Microsoft Interns, one of the biggest selling points was its unbeatable proximity to a whole world of food.
I am currently staying at Archer Hotel Redmond, where I’ll be based for the next few months as I complete my summer MBA internship with Microsoft, working in Business Development at Xbox.
