Part 5: The Refrigerated Conclusion
For my final destination on my tour of popular, public wifi hotspots, I chose to check out the often imitated, never duplicated Think Coffee. I had heard a lot about their flagship 248 Mercer location, so I thought it was worth giving it a shot.

Upon arrival, I navigated my way...

How was I going to effectively get my work done this week? What about phone calls and meetings I had previously...

As the founder of her own design firm, she identified with the coworking community’s values and philosophies, and decided to marry the two by creating both a coworking space and new home for her business.
I had the pleasure of coworking at...
