Restaurant Coworking
Even active spaces aren’t uniformly bustling throughout the day. New York City has upwards of 24K restaurants—among them, some up-all-night delis and take-out joints, but also some that only open for dinner, sitting shuttered all morning and afternoon. There may be chefs in the back, chopping vegetables and prepping for the evening rush, but the dining area is empty.
Preston Pesek, the founder of the co-working startup Spacious, wondered if he could use those tables during the lulls. Pesek, who has a background working with architects, developers, and commercial real estate firms, aimed to turn the sparse front-of-house into an on-demand co-working space.

Digital Nomads live a lifestyle where their laptop and other electronic devices create the center of their office and/or play-space.
digital nomads and coworking go mainstream.
while we understand that there is no place like home, we like to think we have many homes — the primary one being the World Wide Web.
Finally, Zurich starts catching up with its partner city San Francisco (and other Californian cities like Berkeley, Stanford/Palo Alto etc.) in regard to shared workspace for so called “Digital Nomads” and the like: According to these great news, a “citizen space” will soon be opened at Heinrichstr. 267 in Zurich

As Ms Canlas sips her Americano and dives into her e-mail in-box at the Nomad Café, she gives no thought to the specifications and standards that make her connection possible. It is the human connections that now take over. Since humans, as Sigmund Freud put it, must arbeiten und lieben, work and love, in order to find fulfilment, this report will start off by examining how they will work.
