Crush Studio

A coworking community in Lower Manhattan

Crush + Lovely

Crush Studio is a small, friendly coworking community hosted by Crush + Lovely in Lower Manhattan’s vibrant Little Italy/SoHo neighborhood. We are designers, developers, writers, photographers, filmmakers, publishers, and other creative individuals who are making things we care about in the company of people we like. Come make something with us.

We’re growing and will have additional desks this spring/summer.

2 Desks Available

We have 15 desks that start at $550/month (+ $50 setup fee) and include high-speed (Fios) internet; dedicated desk space with 24/7 access; a conference room w/Mac Mini, AppleTV, and IdeaPaint; printer access; and a full kitchen (bring your own lunch).

We’re located on Mulberry Street between Grand and Hester in the historic Little Italy neighborhood near SoHo—only a few short blocks from the F, B/D, J/Z, N/Q, and 6 trains. Our space is also within walking distance of some of the best restaurants, cafes, shopping, and nightlife in Lower Manhattan.
