Gary’s Guide Adds More NYC Service Directories

Last weekend we showed you how you can use Gary’s Guide to navigate SXSW. This week Gary has added more service directories to his event planning guide. The directories include coworking, event venues, free event venues, and a classifieds section where you can post open desks and/or office space.

The coworking directory lists 20+ locations around NYC where you can find desks for rent. Most of the listed spaces are located in Manhattan but there are some in Brooklyn as well. Late last year the city council said they would be opening more incubator space in the outer boroughs so look for this list to grow.

The event venues list has a couple hundred locations where you could hold a tech event. Gary notes, “We’ve also compiled a list of event venues which have been used for tech and media events. The list is sorted by order of popularity (# of events). In addition to the usual assortment of hotels, we noticed offices of IBM, Microsoft and Sun amongst the most popular.”

Gary covers events in 50 cities around the world and I assume that the service directories will be pushed out to other cities as well. I’m not exactly sure how he plans to make money from Gary’s Guide but by indexing so much content, he should be able to become the “wikipedia for tech events and service listings”.
