When PG says New York City, I usually take it to mean Manhattan. Brooklyn and Queens are both pretty awesome. If anyone here is from NYC, I'd love to start some real-life gatherings for YC'ers. Edit: on this topic, I believe reddit started in brooklyn and later relocated. Can anyone confirm?

I'm down for that as well. It could be the rotating borough meet-up. The Beer Garden in Queens, a cafe in Manhattan, Brooklyn or the Bronx. Um... whatever is in Staten Island.

  Tech meetup is full of entrepreneur-wannabes, FAIL. Someone I met was throwing around the idea of a language agnostic hacker meetup with a simple programming/logic puzzle as the barrier to entry. Much better idea than tech-meetup! PS. See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=240529 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=240529 for our new ruby meetup :) Sorry about the self-promotion...

    Agreed. I have been highly disappointed and unsatisfied with most of the tech meetups I have attended. The large majority of attendees I have met at the events are merely non-hackers with an "idea for a website."

Reddit started in Boston. Although, it may have originally been conceived in Charlottesville (back me up here Alexis?). Regardless, not a Brooklyn start-up. I'm down for NYC YC gatherings.

You could use one of the existing ones--since I work in security, I'm most familiar with Citysec, or something like The Last Hope (Jul 18-20 @ The Pennsylvania Hotel).
