This really sums up the difference. A lot of the companies doing tech in NYC are not in the "hot" or "flashy" realm of tech companies. They're not dime a dozen apps or services that are so prominent in SF. A lot of them are in other sectors, and often with business models, so they don't come across as being relevant when they really are.
