![]() “There’s always good, chilled-out music and people chatting quietly,” says photographer and art director Emily Hlavac Green, who used to pay some $200 a month to belong to a co-working space near her apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. For a monthly fee of $95, members have unlimited access to all of the locations, as well as coffee, power cords, and Wi-Fi. Since the company’s launch last summer, Spacious’s network has grown to include Public, L’Apicio, DBGB Kitchen and Bar, La Sirena, and, most recently, MP Taverna Brooklyn in Williamsburg. Rather than claim a chunk of square footage in a single warehouse or office building, Spacious operates out of a constellation of locations across the city-rather brilliantly, in restaurants that used to sit empty until dinner service. ![]() They had just about given up when a friend of Pallay’s told her about Spacious, the startup our digital nomad economy has been waiting for. The duo began to scout co-working spaces, but couldn’t find one that was convenient to both of their homes (their favorite option, the all-women’s club The Wing in the Flatiron District, was equally out-of-the-way for them both). “We hit a point where conducting a meeting at a café table with our growing team was just not winning us points with the barista or anyone else in the coffee shop,” Pallay says with a laugh. When Jessica Pallay and Kaity Velez left their jobs to focus on their online pregnancy and parenting magazine, Well Rounded, the pair wrote and edited out of their Brooklyn apartments and coffee shops.
