Sounds good but a little pricey even for Manhattan.
Nope, that's a great deal.

#12There are some other similar options for startups that have impressive price points & amenities. From my research, there is: Green Desk in DUMBO - http://www.green-desk.com/ Great for environmentally conscious startups, and awesome office environment and amenities. Sunshine Suites in Tribeca and Noho - http://sunshineny.com/ Mixes techies with non-technology startups. Big networking opportunities. TechSpace in Chelse…
I used to be in both the Union Sq and Chelsea TechSpace offices. They're definitely pricey, and the Union Sq space was anything but quiet. The Chelsea spot was more quiet, but mainly due to it just not being as full. Nevermind the guy in the space next to us that refused to use anything but speakerphone when speaking on the phone. The internet was a little flaky, and they didn't even have redundancy built in (I believe they do now though).
The best areas of TS was the 10th floor in the Union Sq. building. Much bigger rooms that could fit 15+ employees but had a much more enclosed 'private office' feel to them.

Sunshine Suites is a lot more cramped. Have you been in there? The place is set of cubicles set up with portable 5 foot tall "walls". You and a friend can get 2 adjoining desks for $800 a month, and that might be perfect for what you need. But you need to deal with the noise of the communal space.

There is also the Brooklyn Creative League (http://www.brooklyncreativeleague.com/) around here in the Park Slope/Gowanus area, but honestly I feel like most of these shared office spaces in Brooklyn charge too much. Almost $500 for 64' square feet in Gowanus is pretty crazy.
Unfortunately $875 for 150 sq ft is a really, really good price, especially for SoHo.

#15We just took space at http://www.42west24.com/
Month-to-month, space is great and not super crowded

#16In a more informal vein, I just got some space in Soho and am looking to host a semi-regular hackathon. I have done these in Philly in the past, and it has worked as follows. A bunch of people get together for a full day on the weekend, enter with a goal of accomplishing a side project (either a small new project or a piece of a larger project), and we all work from early morning til late night, then get some good food and drink afterwords. At previous hackathons I've gotten iPhone apps and simple web apps built, and they have been great fun. Sometimes it's just motivating to be around a bunch of people who are working something out of passion for creating, and this is a good way to harness that vibe. Get in touch with me if you're in NYC and interested in this sort of thing: @kortina on twitter or the same on gmail.

Sounds like a jelly but with one communal goal, I'm in!

Agreed. Sunshine Suites is cramped(but most the cubes are empty) unless you work with garyv in the back.

#19Something you may want to consider, I worked at an Ad Agency in NYC and they rented out some of their desks and stuff cheap to startup. A lot of NYC companies will cut you a great deal because they don't need all the space, you cost them nothing, we even hosted their dev servers on site since we had a pretty decent connect. (they may have paid for some of the connect since we did have to firewall them off from our local lan segment).
Call around anywhere you can think of that may have extra space like say the financial companies etc. You would be surprised at what having some good product people and tech guys around can do for a business, they may even swap consulting for space.

Yeah we'd love to something like this. We have set our own personal hackathon weekends to get little unrelated side projects done, but the more the merrier! And we're in soho
