绝对最好在纽约工作的最好的咖啡店

New York is full of people who either just quit, are about to quit, or dream of quitting their nine-to-five jobs. Some of the first group have ponied up for co-working-space memberships. Some work from their couches. About 5,000 of them work out of a certain hotel lobby on 29th Street. For the rest, there are cafés. A good café work space needs four things: passable coffee, snacks, Wi-Fi (usually — more on that in a second), and a clean restroom. We’ve tried dozens. Here are the five best places to shield your laptop from croissant flakes.

1。Freehold
45 S. 3rd。街。怀特大街，布鲁克林；718-388-7591

我们承认，将顶级插槽放到看似量身定制的咖啡馆以吸引自由职业者的地方有点沉闷。整个空间被主人描述为“酒店大厅，但没有房间”，这是威廉斯堡笔记本电脑课程的磁铁。但是，很难忽略如何完美地执行该任务。它可以提早开放并保持开放时间很晚，提供了无聊的小吃选择，甚至可以钉上过渡到鸡尾酒小时。座位选项涵盖了多个房间，桌子高度和阳光直射的程度。这是威廉斯堡，有一个正常的工作日人群。

2。地面支撑
399 West Broadway，Nr。春天212-219-8733

对于没有铸铁阁楼可以工作的Soho居民，或者没有一个，但不能create那里 - 地面支撑提供了理想的逃生。这家商店烤自己的豆子，以及那些员工的人对如何酿造它们具有令人难以置信的强烈感受。（取决于咖啡师，要求单个浓缩咖啡邀请一个冷笑或讲座。）通常可以找到一个坐在里面的地方 - 两个房间上有各种各样的座位选择，以及一排凳子。意式浓缩咖啡吧 - 有午餐工作的人有自制的三明治。在温暖的几个月中，前面的长凳是一个很好的地方，可以在选秀之间喘口气。而且，是的，有一间浴室。（此列表中的任何地方都有浴室。）

3。La Colombe Noho
400 Lafayette St.，Nr。第四街；212-677-5834

It has to be acknowledged here that a good portion of café creatives simply work better in the absence of a Wi-Fi signal. For those people, La Colombe’s long-standing wireless ban is a bit of a godsend. Though there are now four — seriously, four — additional La Colombes within walking distance of this one, the Noho shop boasts the best arrangement of seating. The hardest part here is making it through the line, which frequently wraps around the bar. But most of those guests are taking their orders to go, so single seats pop up frequently.

4。FIKA
第十大街824号。第55街；646-490-7650

FIKA’s Swedish theme (advertised on its coffee bag as “Swedish Coffee Culture”) can come off as alternately flaccid or partly aborted, but don’t hold that against them. (Like, the ham-and-cheese croissant is made with Jarlsberg cheese. But Jarlsberg is Norwegian. But does it matter?) Instead, note that the espresso is fine, there are plenty of places to sit, and somewhat amazingly, there is a giant, semi-secret patio. This far up in midtown — and this far west — that perfect little roof-deck feels like a portal to a faraway land. Not Sweden, though. Maybe Brooklyn.

5。East One Coffee Roasters
384 Court St., at Carroll St., Brooklyn; 347-987-4919

这newest contender in the category is this bright, industrial-minimalist corner café in Carroll Gardens. A restaurant and coffee-roasting machine occupy the space in back; the café up front serves excellent espresso drinks, beer, wine, and pastries. There are two long communal tables, and a bench snaking around the edge of the room, providing for both quiet corners and spots to gather. When it opened in March, all the stay-at-homers in the neighborhood made the rounds to check it out, and quickly realized the seating alone made it a better working space than the sparsely chaired nearby equivalents. (Worth noting: The coffee is also a lot better.) It hasn’t been empty since.
