Where does the conversation take place?

M: How would you like to come to New York with me over the spring break, Julia?
W: I’d love to, John, but where will we stay?
M: At a friend’s house. I always stay with him and there’s room for you too.
W: OK. He won’t mind?
M: Of course not. He’s looking forward to meeting you.
W: Will we drive to New York?
M: Yes, it takes about six hours. We can leave about noon and get there by supper time.
W: What’s the climate like?
M: It may be cold and rainy. Better bring a jacket and good walking shoes.
W: Well, when do we leave?
M: How about Thursday? Can you be ready by noon?
W: No problem.
