Pay By The Hour At This Café

In parts of Brooklyn (we're looking at you, Bushwick and Gowanus), freelancing from a café is a way of life and as much of a staple of the borough's scene as mustache wax, tattoos and menus that tell you where every ingredient hails from.

A new "anti-café" called Glasshour is offering an alternative model, Business Insider notes. Guests can drink as much coffee as they like, as long as they pay for the seats they're occupying. It's $6 for the first hour and 10¢ for every minute after that, up to four hours, which comes out to a whopping $24, though that includes Wi-Fi, granola bars, access to games like foosball—and presumably the company of other people in the same boat.
