Mike Germano (pictured), Carrot Creative’s president, declared Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood to be the new focal point for all things digital in New York City during his address to the attendees last night at Digital DUMBO’s one-year anniversary event, noting that “Silicon Alley is dead.”
Germano also highlighted the growth that the digital agencies in the...

[Editor’s Note: Carrot Creative head Mike Germano also posted about the Mobile Monday Brooklyn event; I’m reposting his summary, which focuses on Carrot’s presentation, natch, here.]
Dumbo loft, check. Free Brooklyn beer, check (thank you RRE Ventures). Everyone in room geeking-out over mobile apps, check.
This pretty much sums up the Monday Mobile...

(via mbooth)
… I wonder if those were the same 21 people planning to attend Turtle Bay’s $1 Beer Wednesday’s with the Jersey Shore cast in NYC last night …
Not surprisingly, I’m not on the mailing list for events like this. If you were and have pictures though, I’d love to see them. And at some point, I’m probably going to have to watch this show.

The Consortium List Recommends (Week of January...
Since I’m not working today nor was there anything on my calendar for today, thought I would hold off on publishing The Consortium List this week. Hope that you don’t mind, but based on the tweets which I have seen today, I’m guessing that most of you aren’t in the office.
At any rate, looking for something to do after work this week? Here are a few suggestions:
Jan #140conf NYC Meetup:...
Rubinstein’s Adam Isserlis celebrated his birthday Friday night at Puffy’s Tavern (pictured, although not while I was there) Friday night in Manhattan’s TriBeCa neighborhood.

[Editor’s Note: The following was originally published by Black Book magazine. I’m reposting it here because I agree with most, if not all, of it.]
People always ask for tips on crashing. The rules haven’t changed since 2005.
1. Know where you’re going, and dress the part. Don’t wear jeans to a Bergdorf thing. Don’t wear a dress to Hiro. If you’re pretty, overdress to...

NY Tech Meetup Attendees Pack Chelsea's Black Door
The NY Tech Meetup held its first gathering of 2010 last night at SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology’s Haft Auditorium and its first afterparty of the year at the Black Door (pictured during the day because the photos which I took inside came out poorly even thought it was well lit); both are located in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. Since I went into the details of the meetup...

Not everyone was in or near Times Square last night. There was a big crowd at The Bell House in Brooklyn for The Rock N Soul New Year’s Eve featuring...
