I'm here two days early for Startup school and thought it would be cool to catch up with other people attending. So let's meet up?

NYC'ers: any suggestions for good places to work from in manhattan? (Eg. Coffee shop)

If you are in the area, I like the atrium in the IBM building (~57/Madison). There are bajillion coffee shops you can easily find, all very crowded.

(or, if you are in NYC a short time, stop working! See NYC)

NYPL on 42nd st and 5th ave. Free wifi and incredible architecture. Plenty of quiet spaces to use. Also a small coffee shop inside.

The Met museum's cafeteria. You have to pay to get in, but how much is up to you.

Besides the obvious Starbucks choice[1], my personal recommendation: PieFace. Their cafes are throughout midtown and have good coffee + outlets + seating + great food (Australian meat pies and pastries).

They claim to have wifi but I usually use my phone's hotspot.

1 - for those who want (need) Starbucks, the one at 39th and 8th Avenue has tons of room on the second floor seating area.

Thanks all for the recommendations. I also found the CapitalOne 360 cafe to be pretty nice on the second floor (bonus: TV for world cup games :)). Interest is a bit slow, but the area is nice. I'll check out the other recommendations. I'm also down to meet up, I'll be here until Wednesday (traveling from SF, where I worked at a Startup there)

I'm here right now with a friend at We Work 222 Broadway, Fulton. Seems like a pretty place to work and chill. Spent the day looking for other co-working spaces and narrowed down to this one. Wasn't too keen on doing the coffee shop thing.

Just as a warning for you out-of-towners, Obama is coming to town today so leave an extra hour for travel to/from Manhattan.

Thanks for the heads up... Appreciate it

I'm a tech guy at Fog Creek. If you'd like to swing by our office for lunch, shoot me an email. Alex@snapfiber.com

Sent you a mail. Let's catch up for lunch today.

I will be arriving on Wednesday (commuting from Long Island). We should get a group to meet up before the event!

Sounds good. I'll think of a meet up place nearby

alright
