Manhattan’s Science Night Sparks in SoHo

SoHo fizzed last night with Manhattan’s Science Night, igniting NYC’s spring at a Spring Street loft. Teacher Lena Carter demoed lasers as 150 gaped, a $10 ticket bash of beams. It’s borough brains—pure SoHo vibe, experiments hot. A kid aimed a prism; a pro logged a wave. ‘Manhattan learns—this is it,’ Carter says, tweaking lenses. The room turned lab.

The night’s fresh—April 5’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing seats by 7 p.m. Carter’s a LES prof; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a spot; buzz hummed—NYC grit glowed. Projects hit ten—science ruled. #NYCScience trended; Brooklyn wants a beaker.

Some griped—’Too bright,’ sniped a newbie, dodging glare. Space pinched—latecomers stood; fun held. A rival’s pitching a Chelsea lab, splitting beams. Still, 200 stayed—tests reigned. SoHo’s never sparked so bold.

Carter’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a demo if spring bites. ‘NYC’s minds—this fires ‘em,’ she says, packing gear. The night’s a Manhattan win—grit meets geek. It’s a science rush; join the next. Bring a lens—beams call.
