I love The Chai Spot so much! Legit the best place to just hang with friends while time passes you by (but also I guess a good place to write). Also I'm a sucker for pistachio + matcha so thank you very much for the Cafe MSMN rec 🫡
Albertine notably not laptop friendly anymore (source: just tried right now and was told they are now “offline only”) — may be worth an edit! Still adorable though
Ahhhh it’s like this piece was made specifically for me 🫶🏽🫶🏽 I’m a native who just moved back and I’ve been wanting to find exactly these types of spots. THANK YOU!
Stumbled into Bibliotheque one weekday afternoon and it was one of the best surprises! And Cafe Sabarsky has been a favorite for YEARS. Love this list—thanks for the inspo!!💕

I would also add the cafe / book store at International Center for Photography in LES
Lovely, but dangerous because the books are so cool that you’ll spend $90 on one

Book Club in East Village! Laptop friendly but can feel forced out as their plugs don't work (as of last time I was there).
