GNTLMN: Insanity of the NYU variety, but with a great vibe. Solid lunch options, great environment with Washington Square Park right outside for walking meetings.
GNTLMN: No wifi, BUT best staff, best food, and GREAT foot back to back meetings. Try the Salmon Rösti. Secret bar in back of the kitchen on some nights.
GNTLMN: Famous in the coffee shop working community long before it became famous through HBO's Girls. Greenpoint haunt with top coffee and tea, big tables, pleasant vibe.
The Corcoran Group: Simple and adorable coffee shop bliss. Enjoy free wi-fi while enjoying consistently good coffee and snacking on small sandwiches. The baristas are very friendly too.

The Corcoran Group: This cafe is a laptop nomad's Brooklyn dream. Find a seat in their cafeteria styled seating the quiet main room while you sip on a cup of freshly brewed Stumptown coffee.
GNTLMN: Quiet, with no-laptop rule during certain busy hours. GREAT pastries, great coffee, great lunch bites, and near the waterfront for walking meetings.

GNTLMN: Big, great food, coffee roasting done right there (which can be noisy), good internet, good seating, huge windows to stare our of longingly. Try the kale salad.
GNTLMN: Smallish, comfortable, with a staff that relentlessly curates a strong indie soundtrack overhead, sometimes of the 90's variety. Good food, solid wifi.
