Coworking spaces in NYC have been growing at a torrid pace.  These flexible office spaces provide a step-up from working at Starbucks or out of your apartment but are not as committal or involved as leasing a permanent office for multiple years.   And increasingly, coworking spaces aren’t just places for your start-up to set up shop with a desk and a legit address (in case you get sick of referring to your apartment as “Suite” to make yourself sound bigger), but now, they frequently also provide educational resources and a vibrant community of fellow entrepreneurs.

While coworking spaces vary, you can generally get an office for a day at a time for around $30, buy a part-time plan, or pay per month. While most of the spaces listed below are in Manhattan and Brooklyn, Sunshine Suites is building a new site in the Bronx in conjunction with the city government, and Loose Cubes is a service that matches entrepreneurs with available office space in many locations.

The growth of coworking spaces is particularly good for NYC where office space is hard to come by and often exorbitantly priced (by startup standards).  Coworking spaces allow a startup to find that elusive product-market fit before they’re ready to graduate to normal Manhattan real estate.

So if you’re trying to figure out where to park your startup, here a handy list of 22 coworking spaces in NYC and what they charge as well as a snazzy Google Map below with all their locations.
