NEIGHBORHOOD: Meatpacking District
ADDRESS: 73 8th Ave
NEW YORKER TRANSLATION: 8th Ave and 14th St.
PLUG SITUATION: It’s not terrible but there is not enough. There are a handful in the back in each corner. In the front part of the cafe, it’s much more limited. There just aren’t really plugs there.
SEATING: The place this location really stands out is with its seating options. There are two communal tables in the back and several tables of various sizes alongside the walls. There is also one booth nearest to the kitchen in the back. Seating in the front is standard. There are quite a few two person tables. This is the kind of place to have a meeting because you won’t have to worry about finding somewhere to sit
WIFI: It’s alright.
BATHROOM SITUATION: There is one bathroom in the back. Overall it’s okay but it can really smell.
NOISE LEVEL: The noise level is comfortable. The music is not too loud. It’s great for meetings and conversations.
LIGHTING: It's a typical coffee shop but the back can get a bit too dark.
FOOD: This place isn’t the best coffee shop in New York City if you are a coffee afficiato. It’s frankly quite average. It does have good pastry and food options. If you are hungry go for the grilled cheese. If you have a sweet tooth go for the Brookie. Personally, I really wish the place would find a new name for that treat because I don’t like saying it outloud.
OVERALL: If you are going for the food, this is probably not your go to, but if a reliable workspace is what you want, this is probably the place for you.
