Brooklyn is a borough teeming with innovative thinkers and diligent entrepreneurs. Ideas pour out of these creative minds, and all they need is a place to simmer and settle. Where to go?
Enter Class & Co, the sleek and stylish coworking space in East Williamsburg (260 Ainslie Street, third floor). This boutique coworking home boasts a cozy vibe with exposed brick, tons of sunlight, and unique work stations ranging from private offices to a reimagined train cart for private phone calls. While getting your work done is key, Class & Co also aims to foster a community of young professionals and intellectually curious minds from different fields, creating an ecosystem for great thinkers to come together and enjoy classes and community. And Class & Co’s mission goes beyond its handsome four walls — the company helped sponsor our Polar Vortex market, another community-building event.

Everyone groaned when BMW leased the former Brooklyn Night Bazaar space, but it looks as though the dealership is actually doing something really cool with the space/probably trying a little too hard to do Brooklyn right/might still deserve the benefit of the doubt for now. “Amalgated Drawing Office” will feature a restaurant, retail design store, co-working space, and start-up accelerator. One thing it definitely won’t be is an automotive space, but “design” is apparently an open-ended concept for the time being.
Bioremediation workshops are coming to Greenpoint. Details are still to come, but the Newtown Creek Alliance will be laying down some knowledge on urban soil, harnessing beneficial microorganisms with compost tea, and mycoremediation (that’s using fungi for remediation).
Blooms are blooming, and the Greenway is showing the first signs of life. The two-way bike lane that’s been three years in the making is finally in the construction phase on West Street.
While things are popping, other things are drawing to a close. Verboten just got shut down. Fraud, mismanagement, sexual harassment and racism weren’t the official reasons, though. The government seized the property over unpaid taxes.
Are countdown clocks finally coming to the G Train? Gothamist spotted some suspicious-looking packages at the Classon stop. If you see something, say something.

The amazing space that is the home of Greenpointers has a spot opening up for a new studio mate. I can honestly say that I love working there. The other residents are wonderful people and the space itself is great for co-working, but also if you have small events like art shows, screenings or readings.

There is on-site storage for all residents, multiple power outlets, track lighting, a private bathroom, microwave, fridge and modular work desks. There is room to host meetings.

The Yard, a simply smart designed coworking space in Williamsburg has generously teamed up with Greenpointers to offer 5 donated coworking spaces for the upcoming week.
The donated spaces are reserved for individuals that have been displaced by the storm.
A lot of Greenpoint/Williamsburg residents have opened up their homes to those affected and I am sure work spaces would be appreciated!
If you are interested or know anyone that is please contact Andy (at) workattheyard (dot) com.
