Bronx’s Tech Night Boots in Mott Haven

Mott Haven wired last night with the Bronx’s Tech Night, sparking NYC’s spring at a 138th Street bar. Coder Mia Chen demoed apps as 200 gawked, a $10 ticket peek at gadgets. It’s borough bytes—pure BX vibe, screens hot. A kid tapped a bot; a pro tested VR. ‘Bronx builds—this is it,’ Chen says, tweaking code. The room turned expo.

The night’s fresh—March 17’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing stools by 7 p.m. Chen’s a Soundview geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a spot; buzz hummed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one night—tech ruled. #BronxTech trended; Queens wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging beeps. Space pinched—latecomers stood; gear held. A rival’s pitching a Fordham hack, splitting screens. Still, 300 stayed—bits reigned. Mott Haven’s never booted so bold.

Chen’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a hackathon if spring bites. ‘NYC’s grid—this powers it,’ she says, packing drives. The night’s a Bronx win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; catch the next. Bring a gadget—circuits call.
