Hi fellow Astorians,
I've been thinking about opening a coworking space in Astoria. I'm interested specifically north of Astoria Blvd, preferably a walk-able distance from the N/Q (from 31st St). I, myself WFH (work from home) 2 to 3 times a week, but have been mooching off of various coffee shops in the area, but eventually start feeling self-conscious about being a bit of a freeloader. Other people must feel this way too, right?
I think that entrepreneurs, freelancers and the self-employed could really take advantage of such a business.
There's another place in the area that I'm aware of, but that's near 36th Ave. I could serve those in the northern areas. I would offer offices, monitors, standing desks, communal work tables, conference rooms, a shared printer/copy/fax machine, free coffee (and pastries?). Would be awesome to also have this serve as an event space for networking and community events. Wine/cheese tasting, coffee workshops (and GoT screenings!). Maybe even music.
What are you guys' thoughts? An inquiring, entrepreneurial mind wants to know. And is excited at the possibilities.
Thanks all!
John
