    [652 NYS2d 41]

The parties’ initial, 45-minute meeting in New York was clearly exploratory in nature, leading to nothing more than a proposal that was itself the subject of further negotiations over the phone, by mail, and in meetings outside of New York. Such is not a transaction of business in New York within the meaning of CPLR 302 (a) (1) (see, Liederman Assocs. v Robotool Ltd., 154 AD2d 515). Concur—Murphy, P. J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Williams and Andrias, JJ.
