I have always liked libraries, since I spend a whole summer in the British Library reading a massive ten volume translation of the Arabian Nights while at university.
Having tried an office in Tribeca and appointing the cats as CTO and VP of marketing, working out of my apartment I am now basking in the marble and oak glory at desk 610 in the main reading room of the New York Public Library.
Each desk space has an elegant bronze lamp and a brass plate with ethernet and power, where you can hook up your laptop and enjoy speedy Internet access for free.
Adjacent Bryant park, one of Manhattan's best public spaces, also has very good free WiFi and Parisian style folding chairs on gravel paths.
