Re: Usability testing of label maker in New York City

Hi Sigrid,

For usability tests I've conducted in New York 
City, I've been quite happy with Murray Hill Center

   http://www.murrayhillcenter.com/nyc/nyc_facility.html

They have a nice facility and do a good job of recruiting participants.

Best regards,
