On the Stack exchange network, podcast, blogs, and more, we hear a lot about the team at Stack Exchange Inc. headquarters in New York City, the work environment and the like.

We were discussing this in the Travel chat and wondering if it was at all possible to tour the headquarters, even if a virtual tour, to see what it looked like. Obviously visiting the actual headquarters would be ideal (I'd post pictures!) but we'll take what we can get.

If only a virtual tour is possible, and a staff member happens across this question, an ideal answer would include photos ;)

You are now welcome to virtually tour the NYC office at http://s.tk/NYCTour, courtesy of Google Maps!

From David Fullerton, one of the staff members:

Generally, the answer is "no". We're probably smaller than you think -- only about 30 of us in NY and half of those are sales people who cannot be interrupted or we will run out of money and have to stop sending out so many free t-shirts. We don't really have anyone whose job it is to show people around the office.

With that said, you can always try sending an email. If someone in the office recognizes you from the site and feels like showing you around we can try to set something up.

Also, definitely don't try to "just stop by" -- building security won't let you in (that's kind of their job).

I can add that we participate in the NYC Walkabout which runs annually. Unfortunately, the one this year already happened 3 weeks ago. walkaboutnyc.com
