This world is too small. I have a story of my own, but just so you know, I'm not trying to one-up on you. Your story happening in New York is incredible. Mine takes place in Delaware, where it's mostly expected.
I went to my cousin's wedding where I met and danced with a cute redhead who lived in southern Virginia. I got her number and called her later. When I found out her last name, I asked if she knew so-and-so. Turns out that's her older brother, whom I graduated high school with years ago.
Is it wrong to date the cousin of your cousin's husband?

Ahh, but, if friend/boss said favourable things, that would be good, wouldn't it?
