BingSpot is an interactive web-based directory and lifestyle guide to Downtown Binghamton.
We aim to be a comprehensive guide to the great restaurants, performance venues, art galleries, stores, and renovated living spaces available downtown. BingSpot has been built with the 'downtown lifestyle' in mind, but still featuring destinations from other parts of the Tier while promoting the idea of a hip and vibrant urban core for the City of Binghamton.
We love Binghamton and want you to know about all the great things going on here.
PS we totally want you to come hang out with us.
Just a couple of dudes who know a thing or two about marketing and websites.
