Tell HN: There really is a tech boom in NYC
I spent the beginning of last week in NYC meeting with lots of startups and geeks. There was a real buzz to the place and I appreciated how smart, thoughtful, hospitable and open everyone was.
I'm moving to Manhattan/Brooklyn this summer and look forward to meeting more of you.
For anyone interested, here's the heatmap from my checkins for Mon-Wed: http://bit.ly/cEvVGU
- lkrubner 16y agoI live in Brooklyn, on St. John's Place, just off of 8th Avenue. But I work over in Manhattan. Darren Hoyt, who co-developed www.wpquestions.com lives over in Manhattan. We are both looking forward to investing a fair amount of time this summer to building up our site.
- endtime 17y agoI'm also moving to Manhattan or Brooklyn this summer, also to work on a startup. We should meet up.
- jganetsk 17y agoI'm surprised none of your checkins are in Williamsburg. That is, after all, where the NYTimes says all the action is: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/technology/07reboot.html http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/technology/07reboot.html
- gsiener 17y agoThe funny thing is there seems to be a Westward migration as companies get their feet under them.
- lkrubner 17y agoI'm moving to Brooklyn as well, also, mostly, to focus on my startup.
