[Hidden-tech] * * * Suggestions on quiet, private workspace to rent for a day? * * *

[David Chase]

I run a coworking space in Williamsburg center. I didn't mention this 
before because we haven't been fully open since March and couldn't offer 
space to Deb. But since the conversation has turned broader...

It's Commons Coworking (http://www.commonscoworking.com/). We're a 
nonprofit and we've been in the former Helen E. James School building 
since 2016. Not quite fully rural but getting close (i.e. there's plenty 
of parking).

We'll be figuring out how to open up again safely, within the next 
couple of months. First off, we'll let in our current members who've 
been on hold, but we will, of course, be open to others as well.

If anyone thinks they might be interested, email info at commons.today and 
let us know and we'll be in touch when we have opening plans.
