There is nothing better than getting some work done outside, and nothing like drinking a nice iced coffee while doing so!
Below are some of my go-to spots for getting work done in NYC, meeting a friend, or grabbing a cup of coffee. This list is always being updated and changed, as there are always fun new places that are opening. I would love to hear what’s your favorite place to do work is!
