Best Places to Work on a Side Project in NYC
Starting a side project is a lot of work. It requires careful planning and time set aside from your daily schedule. Along the journey of launching coolstuff.nyc we had lots of conversations and all-out work sessions. Here are our favorite places to grind away on your side project in NYC.
La Cantine
BushwickWe were infamously asked to leave after spending one too many hours on a Saturday after coding the site during no-laptop hours. Come here during a weekday for the colorful floral arrangements and bottomless coffee.
The M Train
Above BroadwayBeing on a slow-moving, above-ground train that has access to decent cell service, the M train is a great place to kill time by starting a record length google doc on your iPhone.
Prospect Park
BrooklynSometimes the best thing for a side project is leaving the laptop behind and going analog. Bring a notebook to the park and make sure to take breaks to do some of the best people-watching this city has to offer.
Public Records
GowanusBright, spacious, oat milk cortados, internet access...need we say more? This is a great place to work on a weekend morning to experimental vinyl over the hi-fi sound system.
