Did any of this sessions YC group enjoy the city of boston? Im a Boston native and out of everything I have seen so far it seems that the overall feeling was that Boston doesnt make the cut and most of the YC companies will be moving to the Valley. Is this mostly based on investment opportunities. Or your experience here as well. <p>Did you guys even really have a chance to go out and have a good time in the city?
I threw a party over the summer at my place in Cambridge, and there were a few of us who actually went out often. But we had gone to MIT so we knew what was fun. So, yes -- it has everything to do with investment opportunities. There are a few companies planning to go to New York for the music companies. (This includes us)
I worked in Boston for a summer once - Joe's American Bar and Grill on the waterfront (next to Marriott and Aquarium). I can safely say that I wouldn't rush back to living in Bean Town. Sorry but the Blue Laws suck, if you're going out you had better know of a party cos 2am is a bit early for a European. I also worked in a Law firm in New York for a yr or so and can safely say Boston, as a business and legal center, has a bad rep for being stuck up for no apparent, earned, reason. The weather sucks, the city doesn't have enough clubs and it's nightlife centers around that square which really is square. There's my tuppence worth. Woohoo Red Sox!!!!!!!
