What NYC sorely needs is a place to get a good burrito. Group hugs and talking about our feelings, and how sometimes when no one at the startup is looking we cry just a very little bit? Go back to California, hippie!
I've been east for about 6 years and this is the closest I've gotten to good Mexican food. It is start up friendly[Read:cheap] and amazing- no burritos though last I checked.
I'm not sure a support group is exactly what is needed -- there are a bunch of those around (nextny comes to mind, and has been around for years). However, I do agree that the startup scene is rather fragmented here in NYC. While there definitely are neighborhoods with higher concentrations of tech startups (SoHo, Chelsea, and Dumbo come to mind), there really is no 'startup district', if you will. We don't have a ne…
Where is this "common district home to all of the large tech companies, like the bay area has" that you're referring to?
If you're thinking of Mountain View, Palo Alto, or San Francisco, you're talking about a fairly large area that is also home to lots of other things. If you're thinking of some neighborhood in SF or Berkeley, you're missing a huge fraction of the startups in the Bay Area.

They did say South Park and I believe that and SoMA have most of the startup action, don't they?
I doubt it. (I've never heard of "South Park" and I've been in the Bay Area for years. I thought that SP was a reference to some NY district.)
SoMA may have about as many startups as NYC, but that's not enough to be "most" in the Bay Area.

You should really go check South Park out, it is a pretty part of town too.

Like I said, SoMA, let alone South Park, is not where "most" Bay Area startups are, even if it has more than the most popular NYC district.
