Can anyone recommend a coworking space in Worcester or the surrounding area that does daily or weekly passes?
My wife's grandmother just died and it looks like we're going to be up here for a while while they make plans for the funeral and then have it.
I have a car so that works. Any recommendations?
Nothing that I can recommend personally unfortunately! I've never used them but I live in the area so I just know that they exist, they should come right up on google so you can compare prices and reviews or even location. I know the one in Marlborough is in the Apex center so there's some food and entertainment options right there.
Sadly, I do a lot of calls as part of my work.
Basically. A place with good Wi-Fi, outlets, space to spread out and minimal distractions.

Yeah, that’s basically the other option.
In NYC, bars and restaurants have actually started opening during the day specifically so that they can earn money giving people space to work (in nyc we also have a ton of traditional coworking spaces as well).

I have some room in my office that might help you out for a bit. It's in the Ivy Corset building (close to Coney Island). No charge.

They have day/weekly passes: https://worclab.org/coworking
Venture X Marlborough is the best you’ll find in the area. They offer free day passes on their website.

There aren't really any that i know of. Not for that kind of thing, anyway. I would love to open one actually, but I have any way to get starting capital because I'm poor...
People just use local restaurants with good wifi.
Panera bread is ok, but the WiFi is time limited starting with the lunch rush.
The Bean Counter has 2 locations now, and they are great. The one on highland St can get a little crowded with WPI students though. Haven't actually been to the new one on Grove St, but it's a little further walk from the main campus.
Birch Tree Bread Company is great too.
Nu Kitchen is good, but they tend to have their volume cranked too high.
Denny's got me through college because they're cheap and open almost 24/7, but you have to ask if their wifi is working that day, and you'll need a booth for power. If you need privacy or quiet for voice calls, you might be able to ask to use the back room, but you'll likely be forgotten about with regards to service during the busy times because they don't usually use it except for events.
McDonald's has acceptable wifi most places now, as does burger king and Dunkin'Donuts.
I've been known to park outside of Lowe's in a pinch.
