Second Stop Cafe in Williamsburg. The Ingrid sandwich is good. Everyone there has a laptop and sits and work there for hours. Don't go if you don't like hipsters though. http://www.yelp.no/biz/second-stop-cafe-brooklyn

#62The Ace Hotel has a great lobby to work in. I work there for a couple hours almost every trip I make to NY. Convenient outlets at most seats, free wifi, and a Stumptown adjoined! Lot's of creative types working there, illustrators, writers and such. Can get pretty busy after 5pm. http://www.fastcompany.com/1768472/ace-hotels-communal-works... 20 West 29th Street New York, NY 10001
I actually just took the subway over to check this place out in response to this thread. Some cons for Ace Hotel: * The wifi might be free, but you need a passcode. Do you get this by ordering something? * The prices are pretty exorbitant. Coffee, tea, and sodas are $4, and $20 for a glass of wine. * Pretty dark inside. OK for working on a laptop, not so good for writing anything by hand.
$4 for a work space all day ain't bad ;)

#64You can get passes to NYU Bobst library. It is right next to Washington Square Park. Great views, great area, hundreds of iMacs to use if you you want to use more than a laptop.

#65There's a quaint little gem of a coffee spot in Manhattan (located in Gramercy area) called Irving Place. It's on 71 Irving Place. It's got a great ambience.
