spent a day at one of these in UES the other day. i've never worked in corporate america, but i imagine this is worse, because everyone's a stranger and there's no water cooler. the older ones you mentioned on zoom evoke a bit of sympathy.

i need to start doing this. there aren't many options where i live now, which is north shore li. i've looked for one in the syosset area. rediscovered libraries lately and they're free and less depressing.

i kind of like the syosset library. you get some variety there, some old korean men reading their korean papers. cue ball headed striver startup men in their late 40's taking calls. variety though, and the kind that doesn't leave you looking over your shoulder. not hip at all.

Gen X Interim CFO guy has one of the bigger windowed spaces. Looks like it doubles as a self storage unit for his shitty apt. He has his luggage and large crates filled with holiday decorations in there while he hosts morale zoom meetings.
