Manhattan’s Tech Pop-Up Boots in SoHo

SoHo buzzed last night with Manhattan’s Tech Pop-Up, sparking NYC’s spring on April 13. Coder Amir Hassan demoed VR as 200 gawked, a $12 ticket peek at Spring Street. It’s borough bytes—pure SoHo vibe, screens hot. A kid crashed a drone; a pro tested AI. ‘Manhattan builds—this is it,’ Hassan says, tweaking code. The loft turned expo.

The pop-up’s fresh—April 13’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing floors by 7 p.m. Hassan’s a LES geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a pass; buzz hummed—NYC grit glowed. Demos hit ten—tech ruled. #NYCTechPop trended; Brooklyn wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a newbie, dodging beeps. A headset glitched—fixed quick; vibe held. A rival’s pitching a Chelsea hack, splitting coders. Still, 300 stayed—bits reigned. SoHo’s never booted so bold.

Hassan’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a hackathon if spring bites. ‘NYC’s grid—this powers it,’ he says, packing drives. The pop-up’s a Manhattan win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; catch the next. Bring gadgets—circuits call.
