Grind, A Unique Members-Only Workspace in Manhattan…
Here are a few photos from the inaugural Liquid Lounge event at Grind, a beautiful new members-only workspace in Manhattan, which includes a wonderful self-serve Intelligentsia coffee bar. Grind was recently profiled in Fast Company.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It’s almost like a hackerspace… but clean…
Very interesting concept. It brings the definition of “work” to a new level…..
I’m not convinced. It’s expensive, exclusive, referral-based–how exactly is this not a country club?
I love alternative work spaces and collaborative outreach, but I love those things because they provide me with unexpected stimulation and radically new material with which to work. I don’t think I’d get that at a members-only club.
@Kristin – can you post alternatives for folks to check out?
I wish I could; I hate to bicker and not offer alternatives. I don’t know NY work spaces; I do know what we do in my area, and none are great alternatives. A lot of people work in predictable public areas: coffee shops, libraries, etc. We all know the drawbacks, but I do think there’s something to be said for the relative openness of those spaces.
Some people here rent studios in old warehouses. I like this a little more: studio space here runs less than a Grind membership, offers a private working space in addition to interaction with all the other renters, and exhibition space for regular public walk-through. I’d love to see a model like this evolving to become a more fluid collaborative setting, and one used by a larger variety of independent workers.
I’m sorry I’m not more helpful! I’m happy to see more options presenting themselves.
