Coworking Space: St.Lydia's Church and Co-working in New York City

A coworking space that despite being in a church will not be secretly trying to convert you, St Lydia's Church and Coworking is a place where all sorts of people cross paths whether you are of the spiritual ilk or not. It is comfy, light-filled and offering some of the cheapest coworking spaces in the whole of Brooklyn. Located in Gowanus, St Lydia's Church is close to the restaurants in Carroll Gardens and adjacent to Park Slope with plenty of restaurants nearby. It is only a short walk from the Union stop on the R and the Carroll stop on the F/G for those who wish to use public transport.

Created for those individuals that are over working on a kitchen bench or in a rowdy cafe, St Lydia's is where you can get your stuff done in a quiet, focused and communal environment. Coworking members have access to super-fast Wi-Fi, printing and photocopying facilities, a great big kitchen to whip up a snack in when the hunger pangs strike and plenty of electrical outlets to charge your gadgets. Unlike a cafe, here you don't have to keep buying coffee, as you can whip into the kitchen and make your own whenever you feel like it.

Coworking memberships are totally flexible so that you can work whenever you want and based on an honor system. There are no dedicated desks or private offices, merely a desk space for you when you need it. The doors are open from 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday giving you the weekends to run around a park with your dog or to be a sloth at home. You will be given an access code so that you can key into the building giving you the freedom to come and go as you please.

As the community grows there are possibilities for afternoon yoga breaks, silent meditation (if you don't wish to contemplate your toes for time out) and workshops for sharing ideas. The best perk is the free warm cookies every Thursday afternoon.
