Manhattan’s VR Workshop Boots in Midtown

Midtown jacked in last night with Manhattan’s VR Workshop, wiring NYC’s spring at a 6th Avenue loft. Techie Tariq Evans taught headsets as 40 dived, a $25 class for virtual kids. It’s borough bytes—pure Midtown vibe, screens hot. A kid glitched a sim; a pro walked a grid. ‘Manhattan plugs—this is it,’ Evans says, tweaking rigs. The room turned matrix.

The shop’s fresh—March 24’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing desks by 6 p.m. Evans, a Harlem coder; last night’s crowd hit max—pixels glowed. A latecomer nabbed a set; worlds buzzed—NYC grit shone. Demos hit the void—tech ruled. #NYCVR trended; Brooklyn wants a jack.

Some griped—’Too weird,’ sniped a newbie, dodging nausea. Space pinched—latecomers stood; scenes held. A headset lagged—fixed quick; play rolled. Queens wants a turn, but Midtown owns it—bits rule. The loft’s never booted so bold.

Evans hints at a showcase, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s future—this builds it,’ he says, packing gear. The shop’s a Manhattan win—grit meets grid. It’s a VR rush; join the next. Bring a rig—worlds call.
