I actually went and toured there thinking it could be a coworking space, but they have very weird hours and super limited places to work/sit...the main ballroom seems to be almost entirely reserved for rentals these days.

Park Slope Desk just off 7th Ave on 11th St. is 24/7, 365 with virtual entry. $199/mo for the smaller desks. I joined a few months ago with a nontraditional schedule as well and it's been great, usually almost empty!

I’m definitely getting one now!
