This week, we celebrated our annual Silicon Alley 100 list at the One World Observatory atop the One World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan.

Hundreds of people doing cool and interesting things in New York tech came for cocktails, good food, and great company. 

The group partied until late, straight through the event and into the after party that followed.

This year's Silicon Alley 100 party was held at the top of One World Trade Center.

It was only appropriate that a party celebrating New York City companies served New York City-themed drinks.
