Google Prepares New Chelsea Office, Searches for Chef

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com It's no secret that Google is trying to take the ad world by storm. And if you want to impress Madison Avenue, what better way than to move the East Coast Googleplex into a 311,000 square-foot, multi-floor office in the swanky environs of Manhattan's Chelsea?

Google Watch recently learned some new details about the move.

The move itself begins the third week in August. But the big news is that, pending construction schedules, the brand new Google cafe will open in November on the eighth floor. The cafe will have seating capacity for 200 inside and 100 outside -- on the terrace! If you're worried about the Googlers going sans lunch prior to November, don't be. The new office will be catered by Restaurant Associates until the cafe opens.

Starting August 19, Google will begin moving some of the departments into their new digs. Human Resources and Sales go first, and then in September the engineering department moves in.

All the conference rooms in the new Google office will be named according to the theme of "New York Places." According to sources, the conference room names will include numbers corresponding to a grid pattern to help with wayfinding in the 4-acre office.

Update: I can't spel spull spell. The former headline said "Would You like to See Google's Desert Menu," which isn't funny, even in a double entendre kind of way. Not that I know what a double entendre is.

Lisa Beaty :

Shouldn't 'desert' be 'dessert'? Other than that, interesting.

Pamela English :

Speling, people! Speling!

Sean :

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Dessert.

No, it's Desert. You get to choose between braised camel, sand pudding and fried tarantula

a :

Seriously man. Dessert.

JL :

who let you spell "dessert" wrong? hmm... do you know the pay for this chef they're hiring?

Magnum :

Why should Steve Bryant care when he has got the Tom Selleck look in the bag. In the end, it is all about the chicks, isn't it?

Steve Bryant :

Correct spelling is so Web 1.0. I mean, right? Guys? Hello?

Noji :

And incorrect spelling is so...uh...unprofessional and unbelievable, so I don't usually read those articles, since I assume they are written by somebody who is too uneducated to know what he/she is saying.

Steve Bryant :

Sigh. That'll teach me to skip grammar class just to grow my mullet. My shimmering, mane-like mullet.

Google Watch :

The Mountain View City Council is expected to approve a deal tonight that would let them negotiate exclusively with Google to build new offices and research facilities on 9.2 acres at Charleston Road and Shoreline Boulevard.
