I usually reserve this tag for the interesting places I see in Silicon Valley, but am traipsing around New York for a few days.<\/p>\n

I’m camping at the office of Bricabox<\/a>, as a guest of CEO Nate Westheimer<\/a> in a small thin incubator building with quite a few startups. We’re across the street from Madison Square Park, where there’s several social media, interactive firms in the area. Before lunch I had a briefing from James Gross<\/a> of Federated Media<\/a>, learning about a recent social network marketing campaign I’ll share with you later. <\/p>\n

Now I’m told that the original Silicon Alley was actually in Soho, but there’s quite a few folks popping up in this general area, VCs included. I twittered I was having lunch at Shake Shack in the park, and a total of 7 of us joined up, great discussions yet in the cold (by my Californian standards). I met Ryan Anderson from Fuel Industries (he’s a Forrester client) and Matt Zarzecki<\/a> from CafeMom<\/a> a social network for mothers.<\/p>\n

Silicon Valley is very insular, we don’t know much of what happens outside of 408 650 415 and it’s really fascinating to see different communities of the tech industry.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of NY Tech events<\/a>, Allen Stern has a list of events this week, and Bricabox (I unique content system) has this list of NY Tech Organizations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
