But this about WFH capability. We're ranking based on reliable WiFi, ergonomic tables and chairs, and prices that don't break the bank. Bonus tasty points shall be awarded as well.
We truly hope these spots can retain these qualities. And while we understand if rising inflation or a worser excuses bring about the surprise removal of WiFi in favor of less WFH warriors and more turnover. But in that same spirit you'll find yourself dropped from this list.
So, Gotham Nation, please flag, downvote, or disagree with a listing if that's the case.
Without further ado, brake out those laptops and coffee orders NYC:

Alright technically not a cafe so not starting off incredibly honest, but we'll allow it and they'll gladly allow you. Abracadabra Magic Diner churns out good bites and reliable WiFi in a unique environment that spurs creativity and dare we say magic?? It ranks highly in the following categories
- Wifi & Workspace | 9/10 | "Accessible, fast, lots of space, and little social pressure"
- Interior Design, Furniture, and Environment | 10/10 | "Magical AND Comfortable. Snaps & claps"
- Affordability & Taste | 7/10 | "This being a cafe pricing scale is what knocks it slightly. But boo hoo and buy some food. It's a diner after all"

Hailed as a ~ "Cool coffee joint with a hip vibe specializing in artisanal pastries & elevated light fare" - Google ~ this corner cafe provides pretty delicious and sometimes cutely designed coffee over its small counter right into its communal working space. It's nothing fancy, just doing the right things right.
- Wifi & Workspace | 8/10 | "Accessible, medium speed, ok space, and little social pressure. Closes a little early"
- Interior Design, Furniture, and Environment | 8/10 | "No complaints. Nothing fancy but it's reliable. Specific.. but the raised texture of their matte black metal tables are the most satisfying scrolling surfaces for your laptop mouse lol"
- Affordability & Taste | 9/10 | "They are indeed affordable and tasty"
