Kismet Cowork - Manayunk

"But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new... The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends."

Thanks to Tim Ferriss for featuring this gem of a monologue in his weekly email (which our Kismet fam is fully addicted to). Got us thinking and inspired. Here's to reeling in the new!

We're building a bar.

If you’ve popped by our Manayunk location over the last few days, you may have noticed that we’re building a bar. In this moment, this may seem counterintuitive. But not to our way of thinking.

You see, we’re building a bar because, when the time is right, Kismet will be bringing a new focus on events and creating a spaces for folks to gather.
We’re building a bar because we know that deep down, we all have secretly wanted one to be there all along.
We’re building a bar because we look forward to the sight of people standing around it, exchanging ideas and getting to know each other, SAFELY.
We’re building a bar because, if we’re honest, it just feels really good to build things.
We’re building a bar because we know that the very nature of how people get together is changing before our eyes. And some of that is going to stay changed.
And we’re ready for that change. Bring it on.

We’ll let you know when the bar is open.

Hi folks -
Some good news! Kismet is re-opening all three locations TODAY, Tuesday, September 8th, and we are more committed than ever to building our business back and supporting the community that got us in this business in the first place.

We want to bring people together, safely of course, more than ever. The world is going to be more complicated than most of us can imagine and who you spend time with, who you talk to, and why you do what you do are going to be critical elements of your success.

Over the next few weeks, you will be hearing a lot from us about new programs and initiatives we will be launching this fall. Know this now: KISMET is going to continue to be a major force for good in the creative sector of Philadelphia. We are going to be more committed to connecting businesses to communities to opportunities and building towards better common goals. So here’s my ask: Keep us front of mind. Come see what we are doing. Listen to our podcasts on . Keep reading our mailing list. (Thank you, by the way!) Tell your family and friends what we are doing. Help us come back stronger than ever. We want your help and we want to help you.

Sincerely,

Christopher Plant

We’re re-opening our Chestnut Hill, Manayunk, and Spring Arts locations on Tuesday, Sept. 8th, with both safety and forward motion in mind.

What does that mean? It means we’re following the City of Philadelphia’s guidelines and updates daily, and constantly improving upon our strategies and innovations to make Kismet Cowork the very best socially-distanced coworking experience around. So far, that includes:

— face masks required for all members (need a new one? We got you!)

— hand sanitizer stations every 8 feet in each location (including wall-mounted stations at Spring Arts)

— cleaning kits positioned throughout each location to touch up your space

— all touchpoints (including kitchens) are cleaned and sanitized throughout the day

— all Kismet locations remain spacious and easy to keep social distance

— adding air purifying ionizers to our HVAC systems which kill 99.9% of bacteria in the air (already installed in Chestnut Hill, with plans underway for Manayunk and Spring Arts)

… and the list is growing. We can’t wait to work with you again! Get in touch if you'd like to book a tour, start, or renew your membership.
