Not a cafe, but the Rose Reading Room at the 42nd St. library is the prettiest, most productive place to get work done. Also easy to move outside to Bryant Park when it's nice out. (edit): Looks like it's nearly unanimous. Here's a picture for folks who haven't been there: http://nycpano.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/rose-reading-room...

Just a heads up, most of the Starbucks in Manhattan have removed all their power outlets (last month, or the month before) to prevent people from spending time there working. I guess having people say "my company started from humble beginning in the local Starbucks" is no longer valuable to them.

How loud is it there? The stone walls and tile floors make me think it's very live, acoustically speaking. Are people quiet enough that it's not a problem?
