If you’re a remote worker like myself, you know the struggle of finding decent places to work from when you want to get out of the house. I’ve had my own running list of go-to spots in New York and recently asked for some of your favorites too, so I’ll keep them all updated here.
Most of these have free wifi but not all, so you might want to check ahead of time. This list is more based on places that have good food/coffee, a nice environment, and let you set up camp with your laptop for a few hours without anyone breathing down your neck.
