I met Tony at New Work City, a coworking space in Manhattan he helped found. Whitney Hess, a member, suggested I swing by, but it wasn’t until September, when Mark Burstiner actually dragged me in, that I got a chance to check it out.
On my second visit to NWC, I didn’t have any friends with me. Fortunately, I received a warm welcome from Tony, who was eager to introduce himself to the new guy in the room. It might have helped that I was wearing my Fail Whale shirt. ;-)
When I returned to NYC in late December, Tony offered up his place, House 2.0, without hesitation for my couch surfing needs!
He’s a great guy and seems to jump at opportunities to help make great things happen. From providing freelancers a place to work, to throwing parties at his apartment, to helping organize tech events (e.g. Code & Beats).
He’s a great guy to know, and if you’re ever in Manhattan, say hi to Tony and drop by NWC during the week to co-work!

Tony really is the best guy you’ll ever meet…he treats everyone like they’re the most important person in the room. I love that.
It was so great to see you, Brian, and hopefully we’ll get to hang at SXSW. Also, I’ll be in Phoenix in mid-April if you’re around.
