YouTube Takes Manhattan
A few weeks ago, Zayna Aston, a communications executive at Google, met me at the company’s offices in Manhattan to show me around YouTube Space New York, the newest version of the production facilities the company has already opened in London, Los Angeles and Tokyo over the last two years.
The elevator in Chelsea Market that serves the YouTube office there was not ready to go to the production space one floor above, so we ended up at the freight elevator, which opened partway, closed and then left, before it took us to the studio.
“It’s a work in progress,” Ms. Aston said, smiling.
