Stop by General Assembly; (<a href="http://generalassemb.ly/" rel="nofollow">http://generalassemb.ly/</a>) you can most likely get a tour of the place or sign up for one of the classes they have that day. Just let them know beforehand that you'd like to check out the space. Great vibe &#38; atmosphere. Lots of other startups &#38; incubators/workspaces in the area (Flatiron) as well.

You should make a list of companies you are interested in and email them to schedule a visit.<p>Tell them what you want to accomplish during your visit and make sure to research the company beforehand.

You’re welcome to check out OkCupid — just drop me an email (address in my profile).<p>If you stop by on Thursday afternoon, you can join us for lunch and a game of Catch Phrase. Or, come after work and challenge someone to Mario Kart or Smash. Or, stop by any other time and we’ll still be happy to show you around.

Most NYC tech startups will be more than happy to visit with you for a bit and give you a tour. I did this just before graduating from University. I visited General Assembly, Betaworks, Etsy, and also some really small companies. Just email beforehand and try to arrange a time that works for both of you.

New York in general, or New York City?<p>It's around a 7 hour drive from one end of the state to the other.
