Hanging out at 3DEN will cost you $6 for 30 minutes."[3DEN] is an aggregation of all the supposed good things of a coffee shop or a hotel lobby or a gym, which are actually performed in a very dysfunctional manner," CEO and founder Ben Silver told me.

People associate high design with high price, and we're trying to be the total opposite of that."Most of 3DEN's services are included in the price, but you can buy additional products, snacks, and beverages through 3DEN's smartphone app. 3DEN is partnered with a number of retailers to offer products from brands including LOLI Beauty, Dirty Lemon, Seed, Goby, and Harry's.Silver plans to eventually open up 40 3DEN locations in New York City.
