I know you mentioned alphabet city, but the transit isn't so great there. So if you feel like you can fill it with locals, then it works. But I wouldn't travel there each day because it could mean a bus-train-bus or bus-train-walk scenario. </p> <p> The other key is the time - what are the hours for the space, etc. </p> <p> If you stick with the cooBric name, I think it's ok. Not sure people will know what it means but we could probably figure something out Web 2.0ish plus coworking-ish. </p> Learning is the key, right Professor? :) My advice is to look at a space that has great mass transit options because that is part of the success formula.

The other key is the time – what are the hours for the space, etc.

If you stick with the cooBric name, I think it’s ok. Not sure people will know what it means but we could probably figure something out Web 2.0ish plus coworking-ish.

We have already had some conversations with other providers - and are looking into a way to work with other companies that already have space that needs subletters. We have met with some cafe owners and explained our community's needs - and will have some news soon. One thing - I, too, did not like the use of the small tables - but people felt more comfortable in using them to engage others with spaces that were in close proximity. If there was a need for more table space, then the back tables (designed for parties of 2 and 4) were always there. And, one last question: "educational"? The team thought cooBric was better than cooperBricolage. Any suggestions? We are always interested in feedback...
