Good overview piece if you're looking to start a business in NY. First time I've come across Darren's site, but there's a lot of good information in the article and on his site.
After speaking with various entrepreneurs from different industries here in New York, one topic that comes up over and over again is that of “New York.” There are mixed feelings about creating a business here as some people think that San Francisco (and surrounding areas) is the Mecca. For an early stage software company, that may be true, but not everyone here in New York is building software, actually, far less than in San Francisco. If you have a business model that includes advertising, creating the next fashion label, writing a book and trying to find a publisher, or using technology as an enabler to do things, New York may be the best place for you to plant your roots.
