I'm looking for anyone who has experience with renting office space in the Manhattan area. I'm only looking for an office for 1 person and have checked craigslist, but it's a little vague.

Anyone here work for themselves and rent a 1 person office (private or cubicle) and can share experiences? Prices, location, quality, etc.

What is your profession?

You should check trade ppublications and/or web sites.

The Lincoln Buildiing has many small offices and small firms which sublease space.
Check with management. 60 East 42nd Street, across from Grand Central. Other older buildings do the same.

I have a friend who uses an office with 2 rooms, a small waiting room with a couple chairs and a "consultation" room...shrink furniture Couple recliners and a sofa. Like 5th Avenue lower 30's.

She shares with a couple others and she takes it for 2 days and pays about $800/ month and it includes heat and air conditioning.

(I think the tenants kicked in to buy the furniture a while ago.)

I've never seen the space but she has taste so I'm sure it's pretty decent looking.

I don't know if this is typical.

In my defense, I respond only to recent posts, in this case a post by JColtrane of last Wednesday.
If others choose to dig up two year old posts, that's their proclivity.

I know some are bothered by old posts but I kinds feel that information is information. Perhaps what is not useful for a long dead poster might be of interest to somebody else.

Of course nobody needs info about the Statler Hotel or the meals at the Forum of the Twelve Caesars or the quality of the clothes at Gimbel's.
Or what a bastard Mayor Koch is.

No defense necessary. I didn't dig up this post.

If you people aren't aware, CD for reasons of their own, ressurects old threads for continued discussion. Apparently thiis is one.

What "spam" has to do with it, I'm at a loss....

Agreed. Though, some threads deserve to die. Those which provide no useful relevant information. A lot of new people going through the pages of threads, either don't realize the thread's age, or just can't resist commenting, on some long dead subject matter no longer relevant.

Personllly, I dislike the CD policy of "resurrecting". I think they do it when discussion gets a little slow. Hve you noticed those advert comments at the bottom of old threads, encouraging folks to comment/post?

the original "resurrecting" response (from a few days ago, responding to the most recent post which was at that time 2 years old) was an automated spam

it clearly was placed by some sort of bot, it was from a profile with only 1 post and it was a link to some commercial office space

then a few others like yourself saw the thread in the recent list and continued responding, not realizing any of this

so the reason it got resurrected was a spam bot

yesterday i flagged the spambot post and I assume a CD mod deleted that post since it's gone now

so there is no conspiracy by CD to resurrect threads, at least here. quite the contrary. active modding to kill spam posts

but once the spam is gone, it's not obvious that's how it got resurrected

the more you know...
