I organize Hackers and Founders SV, and I'm finally heading out to NYC in a couple of weeks to check out Hackers and Founders NY. I'm really looking forward to checking out the startup scene.

BTW, I'd love to be able to crash on someone's floor the night of the 25th after the meetup. Ping me if you're interested. I promise to be a good guest. :)

If it doesn't work out, I already have a place picked out on AirBnB. I'd just like to hang out with a HN reader if possible.

There are Bootstrapper Breakfasts (http://www.bootstrappersbreakfast.com/ ) in Silicon Valley four times a month, and twice a month in San Francisco as well as monthly in Minneapolis and San Diego. I think the Silicon Valley entrepreneurial ecosystem is richer and much more complex than the queue at Sand Hill Road. And that similar opportunities for serious conversation with other entrepreneurs exist in many cities around the world.

If you're going to blatantly self-promote your event, how about a little disclosure?

It's in my YC profile: I am not trying to hide anything.

I mentioned them in response to an article about breakfasts for entrepreneurs in New York, so that folks who might be interested in similar events in Minneapolis, San Diego, San Francisco, or Silicon Valley would know.

I'm moving to Brooklyn this summer and get very excited to keep seeing articles like this. I'm also going to be in town at the end of March, what are some "must see"s in the scene?
