Food crawl & Vibecode Hackathon

about this event

The first hackathon in America where you eat your way through the city while you build.

One rule changes everything: No laptops. Six hours. Ship a real product while hopping restaurants. Phone in one hand, food in the other. Voice in, agents doing the work: Wispr Flow, Base44, and whatever else you can hack together on mobile. You prompt between subway stops, you deploy crossing the street, you demo to the table before the plates are cleared.

The crawl is the venue. Three stops, every meal under $15, every spot verified on the got2eat map. When the crawl moves, you move.

Why? Hunting for a deal and hunting for a product are the same instinct. Both are pattern recognition on foot. Usually kept in separate rooms. Now on the same street. You have to be wired a certain way to say yes to this. Everyone else opts out. Which means the person eating next to you decided this sounded like a good Saturday. That's the whole filter.

The day: 11:00 AM — Briefing, idea picking. 11:30 AM to 6:00 PM - 4 Food stops, Walk and ship. 6:30 PM — Submissions. 6:30 PM –7:30 PM — Demos and judging. 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM — Winners and prizes. 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM— Dinner and wind down.

What to bring: Walking shoes you can do hours in. Your phone. Portable chargers, you're building on battery all day. An appetite. And that one problem that's been living rent free in your head. No laptops. That's not a suggestion.

Filming: The whole day is filmed. Event video after.

Location: NYC. Stops announced closer to the day, the route is the surprise.
