Best Cafes to Work From in NYC (UPDATED for 2022)
Despite the HUGE changes to cafe coworking post-pandemic, we still enjoy getting out of the house to work from a cafe & get a semblance of a social life. If you’ve been out of touch with the careful skills required for finding the perfect spots, here are a few things to look out for:
enough seating
enough outlets
a solid wifi connection
friendly staff
and if you’re lucky, bright natural light
SO we’ve done the work and found you the BEST coffee shops in New York and Brooklyn that check off ALL the boxes! We’re breaking it down by area, so it’s extra easy for you to coffee-hop from one to the other (remember to download our list to your Google Map for easy access!)
