Serving New Yorkers for more than 20 years, Irving Farm is named after Irving Place, the street in Gramercy Park where they first opened up shop.
But before you start packing your laptop I have to mention that Irving Farm doesn’t offer WiFi. You might be thinking why the heck would I consider it one of the best working cafes in NYC, I’m going to tell you.
I’ve found that when I have to write (like pen + paper), read a report, or study, Irving Farm is one of the best coffee shops to work from in New York City. There’s an abundance of tables offering plenty of work surfaces, as well as a bathroom and friendly baristas.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
