NYC does indeed have a stellar PR team when it comes to tech, but other factors also show the rise of the city's tech sector. Beyond the multitude of startups in the Midtown South neighborhood, look at what major tech companies are doing in the city. Microsoft just relocated to 11 Times Square, leasing a huge part of the tower. Google owns one of the largest buildings in the world, and continues leasing more space. NYC is the only comparable locale (in the US) to the Bay Area when it comes to technology, and this is a very recent development.
