YC Interviews in NYC

A couple of thoughts come to mind - are you doing this because there is a dip in the number / quality of applicants being SF-only, or are you hoping to grow YC on top of the SF-base with these new "hubs". (i.e. have we reached peak "good ideas" in the US?)

Second thought - I need to get my butt into gear ...

Neither! We travel all over the world doing outreach and we figured we might as well interview people while we're out there.

Do you by any chance think you can make it to Nairobi, Kenya in your outreach? I have applied as many times as I have been rejected but it would be fantastic if YC came closer. Visa Free for all Africans (and most other nations), fantastic weather, and I volunteer to get you a prime location for the interviews(or just meetup) at the oldest most established tech open space in Africa/Silicon Savanna. Plus you can all adopt and name orphaned elephants :)

Two birds. One stone.

Good luck, and keep up the good work :-)
