The best places to start or grow your business, collaborate and network.
WeWork
WeWork is the most well-known in this space, and has the most locations. They provide companies with small offices separated by glass, a working 20,000 member community, and a range of career services. Founders Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey established WeWork in order to provide professionals with a collaborative and fun working environment.
The 42nd Street WeWork kitchen and common space
Design: WeWork’s locations are creative, hip and inspiring. The individual offices are small and separated by floor-to-ceiling glass, with frosting up to a few feet above the desks. At New York City locations, there are comfy seating areas, theatre-style screening rooms, kitchens, and common seating areas with –get this– table tennis! The decor theme is uber modern yet comfy, with open spaces for maximum interaction.

I have been to Neue house. It’s cool at first. as you work your hours it becomes meh at most. I had a gallery for 600 a month it was worth for the most part. But still, Meh…
Marvin Culman
Oh god I was searching for that everywhere! Why I didn’t think about Urbanette! Thank you for the ideas I’ll try some soon, and I’ll share that around 🙂

Late summer, Massage Greenpoint will be opening up on Greenpoint Ave in Brooklyn. In addition to therapeutic massage, we will also have rooms available to share with our community as a coworking space for healers. We are a women owned and operated business. We will be working with local acupuncturists, therapists, estheticians, and other healers to create a communal space that is beautiful, clean, and ideal for bodywork. For more info and updates please check out our site: http://www.massagegreenpoint.com

So cool! It makes me think that I should research whether there are places like that somewhere close to where I live. And when in NY, I’d love to try at least one of them out!
Courtney Watson
Coworking is fun 🙂 I personally think it can make my identity stronger because I work amidst people working for different companies, doing varied kinds of work. I feel like I don’t have to put on a work persona because there is a very little internal politics or direct competition.
This is a great list and I would love to try the coworking space that would give me that “farmhouse feel.”
Trish Potter
That’s really useful information for an entrepreneur starting out without the staff or budget for a standard office. And they seem like it would be much better for networking and collaborating too!
Steph Cordes
I had never heard of an all women co-working space. That’s awesome!
Sarah Uibel
Holy cow, I had no ideas there we some many coworking spaces in NYC. I had heard of Neuehouse before, but not the others. Gonna check them out!
Gabby Williams
A farmhouse feel?
I’m very interested to work in a place like this. Staying home and trying to work at home has it’s perks, but I don’t mind sharing an office space.
