Coworking site planning:

#Seems like http://www.coworknola.com/ was happening at some point. I emailed them and no response. (this site has not been updated since November 2007)

I am looking for investors and interested parties(people willing to PAY FOR SPACE NOW!) to develop a coworking space in NOLA. I am open to CBD, Lakeview, Uptown, and Carrollton areas. I will be researching space in the next two weeks and soliciting investors. I am open to franchising with another coworking space owner in another city if they want to make a capital investment. I like the idea of a space like Cubes & Crayons but not sure that it would work in New Orleans. Please contact Chris Johnston at (504)208-1766 if you are interested.

Venues (cafes w/free wifi):

• Cafe Rose Nicaud, French Quarter, 632 Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA.  Frenchmen St is becoming pretty cool, with new bars, venues, and restaurants.  Great veggie lasagna here, reliable wifi, tons of natural light, easy to find a table, upbeat, good tea selection.
• Bayou Coffee House and Wine Bar, Midcity 326 N. Jeff Davis Parkway New Orleans, LA 504.484.7390
• CC's Community Coffee, Royal St., French Quarter. CC's is a chain, but is has a local feel to it.
• Cafe Envie, Decatur St., French Quarter
• Cafe Flora, Marigny
• Zotz, Frenchman St., French Quarter, If "edgy" is what you like, this is your place. The music is loud, (big)dogs are allowed, etc.
• Fair Grinds 3133 Ponce de Leon, New Orleans, LA 70119 504.913.9072.  Indoor and outside (covered) seating, great lentils, good tea selection, organic.  Studious, generally quieter vibe.  Always folks chatting/lounging out front. Wifi was buggy one day when I was there, but woman behind the counter let me reset the router myself no problem.
