The Rose main reading room of the NYPL Schwarzman building (that's the one with the lions) is quiet, has wifi and outlets, and is inspirational.

As an NYPL staffer and Hacker News junkie, I can't tell you how much I appreciate seeing this listed here.

Before I joined the library, I'd come here all the time just to get work done. Now I come here to work.

Anyway, if you go a few blocks south to the Science, Industry, and Business Library (34th & Madison Ave) there's access to tons of market research databases that have helped fill out many of my friends pitch decks.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try that one next time I'm in NYC (visiting relatives on a work/vacation). I've found the other NYPL building to be pretty fun places to work.
