# Cafes, coworking and coliving in New York

> New York splits the working day by borough: roaster-run cafes in Williamsburg and Bushwick, club-like work floors around Madison Square and a furnished landing option that does not ask for a broker.

## The short answer

New York splits the working day by borough: roaster-run cafes in Williamsburg and Bushwick, club-like work floors around Madison Square and a furnished landing option that does not ask for a broker.

## What the register checks

- Devocion (cafe): Williamsburg. The Colombian roaster's flagship in Williamsburg, a big skylit room where the beans arrive fresh from origin and the tables hold a laptop without a fight.
- La Cabra (cafe): East Village. The Danish roaster's East Village room on Second Avenue, light-roast coffee and pastry with Scandinavian restraint downtown.
- Sey Coffee (cafe): Bushwick. A plant-filled Bushwick roastery with a cult following for its light roasts, quieter than the flagship rooms across the borough.
- NeueHouse (coworking): Madison Square. The club-like work floor by Madison Square, closer to a members' house with desks than to an office with a logo wall.
- Soho Works (coworking): Meatpacking and Brooklyn. Soho House's work floors in Meatpacking and Dumbo, built for members who want the house mood with an actual desk.
- Outsite (coliving): Brooklyn. The work-travel operator's New York houses, furnished rooms with workspaces and a membership that carries over to its other cities.

## Questions

### How are the cafes and workspaces in New York selected?

There is no classification body for cafes, coworking spaces or colivings, and this register says so. Each venue's own site was read on the date shown, and each entry has to serve a working day the city's other entries do not. 6 venues made the first edition.

### Does Linen Harbour rank the venues in New York?

No. The register separates them by role instead: the coffee stop, the daily desk, the landing house. The useful answer is which one fits the day you are planning, and each record says who should go elsewhere.

### Can Linen Harbour book a desk or a room?

No. Every record links the venue directly. Day passes, memberships and rooms stay with the house, and coliving applications are between you and the operator.

### Why are there no prices on this page?

Day-pass, membership and room rates change monthly and by location. The venue's own site is the only current source, and this register does not republish numbers it cannot keep current.

### Do these venues welcome laptops?

The coworking and coliving entries are built for them. Among cafes it varies by room and hour, and each record says when a cafe is better treated as a coffee stop than as a desk.
