No registration necessary – just show up with the intention to write, and something to write with.
Bring headphones or earplugs if you need music or silence. Subway is nearby and there is a buzz about the place at lunchtime.
If you have to arrive a little late, or leave a little early in order to be able to eat lunch in peace, that’s fine. Guidance for productive writing in a short time slot will be provided.

Q3: 20 March, 27 March and 3 April
Q4: Every Monday in May and June except May 29 (tweede pinksterdag)
