A laptop-friendly space in New York City
This hotel has a HUGE lobby divided into four separate spaces, which means you can find a place to sit and be by yourself. The music isn't TOO loud, though it's definitely present. I did a one-hour video call with no problems in being heard. I did use my own MiFi though, so I don't have Wifi info to share. I was left alone for two hours, and no one seemed at all concerned I was here. Lots of businesspeople and tourists in and out of lobby. There is one section that has a table with 12, count 'em, TWELVE outlets. A bar ara that isn't open during the day. (Which has velvet curtains to absorb some stereo noise if you have calls.) And two big seating areas. Also a small business center (two terminals, one printer) next to the community table.

Use to be my favorite spot to work on the UWS! The Wifi is now only available to hotel guest (last name & room #). I still have meetings here or work on non-wifi projects.
