Nikita Razo, owner of Office Space Rage Room.
Tell us about your business backstory. What motivated you to open a rage room in Manhattan?
People are constantly complaining that there aren’t enough adult activities in Manhattan. So I decided, why not help with that and bring something a little more outside the box into town. So far people are loving it and having so much fun smashing things and throwing paint around.
Tell us about the services Office Space offers. What can people expect from your business?
The idea is to have a safe and controlled environment where it is okay to smash and break things while not getting in trouble for it or having to clean up after yourself when you are done. Not only is it a great form of stress relief therapy, but it is also a super fun time. In addition, we also offer paint splatter parties that also allow you to take home the artwork you create as a souvenir.
What is unique about your business - what are you doing that no one else is?
We are the only rage room in the area. The next closest one is located in Lawrence.

What have you enjoyed about being a part of the Downtown Manhattan business community?
I love that there is always something going on. It’s fun to always see people out and about downtown.
What are some plans you have for Office Space in the future?
I guess you'll just have to follow our social media to find out! But in the meantime, please continue to bring us all your breakable junk! We can never have too much!
