Meet me at the clock inside Grand Central Station at 7:30pm Wednesday night. I'm the guy in the dark gray trenchcoat wearing a fedora.
Not specific enough. There’s like 6 people matching that description lol
the correct answer is Noon
You might be able to find someone willing to give you cash for BTC at Pubkey, a bitcoin themed bar in NYC.

This seems like what OP is after
This is what I tried doing on a Saturday night. But nobody really knew what bitcoin was. I was the only one paying with bitcoin.
As people came to the bar or sat next to me, I made small talk and asked if they knew much about crypto, but most didn't even know they were in a "bitcoin bar." The bartender told me he only had a wallet because people wanted to tip him (the bitcoin payment method didn't give the option of a tip). When I asked him "what percentage of people pay in bitcoin" he got weaselly until admitting nobody really did except on thursdays, which were when most of the bitcoin enthusiast types came in.
There was a gathering of people in the back room and I asked someone if that was a meetup, but I was told it was a birthday party.
A man walked through playing bagpipes because it was "Robert Burns Night" which pissed off some of the girls with more sensitive ears who asked me and others to tell him to stop. But the bartender served free shortbread for the occasion.
Most people in the building were young professional corpo/finance types or had the new-right, serif-font david protein bar aesthetic.
I told some of them they were in a bitcoin bar, pointed to the price on the wall, and they said they didn't trust it or had a small position. Most said it was too volatile. A person said he was pissed for selling all his at $80k since he would have made more selling at $100k. Someone recommended I invest in VOO instead.
So next time I'm in new york I'll try to make it on a thursday :)
LOL. Damn man, we're still early if this is the attitude at f***ing Pubkey, where Trump did his bitcoin transaction.
Thanks for the report though. You should make an individual post about it, your story deserves more visibility!

You have some options:
The process of having less BTC and more USD is called "buying" not "selling".
BTC is money. The trade/barter where you have a

more afterwards and less money afterwards is called buying.new york have bitcoin ATMs?
I'm coming with a bag of cash to JFK Airport all the way from India.
How much do you want?
The answers so far are complicated, is there just some place I can go or someone to talk to, I'm not techy
A digital currency tends to be techy.
