Dumbo loft, check.
Free Brooklyn beer, check (thank you RRE Ventures).
Everyone in room geeking-out over mobile apps, check.
This pretty much sums up the Monday Mobile Brooklyn event this past Monday night where our very own Robert Gaafar, Carrot Creative’s CEO presented our submission to the NYC Big Apps contest: “Where Brooklyn App?”
In case you missed it, this application allows users to tour key Brooklyn points of interest through an augmented reality lens and create a social atmosphere for other travelers to document their trip.

Where Brooklyn App is not available yet. We are currently waiting for approval from Apple.
Bobby rocked it obviously but there were other fun and innovative presentations like the Sit or Squat public restroom locator. Our friend Phil from PegShot sharing the photo/video application that “pegs” your location with a picture or video. My personal favorite, NYC Broken Meters to help city drivers find free parking but utilizing the city data.
Thanks again to Mobile Monday Brooklyn for organizing another excuse for the digital minds from Brooklyn and Manhattan to get together in one room to share, learn, and well, drink.
Peace out luddites, you don’t stand a chance in Brooklyn.
