Hi Nathaniel, We have a Brooklyn co-working space called Green Spaces - www.greenspacesny.com. Great group of people - around 60 people are part of the space - primarily social entrepreneurs. If you want to check it out - call Roberto at 718-855-5356.
Also - this is a question to the group. I am out in Denver now and looking to start something similar so if anyone would like to collaborate or chat please send me an email. This is a great group and you all have been very helpful!
