Blogger Lounge
For the first Mashable NextUp NYC event, we felt it would be appropriate to have a special area for bloggers. Therefore, we've sectioned off a portion of the venue which will be equipped with long tables and chairs, power strips, WiFi and light snacks. We'll also be sure to send the wait staff around for any drink or food orders.
