Manhattan:

- Kaffe 1668 in Tribeca - great atmosphere, great coffee & tea

- Cafe Mercato on Broadway at Bleecker St. - open 24h, it's a sizeable deli, has tap beer, and work space in the back

- Ace Hotel lobby on W. 29 st - classy but gets very crowded

Brooklyn:

- Vineapple in Brooklyn Heights - coffee & grilled cheese

- Tea Lounge in Park Slope - coffee & beer & many couches

Tea Lounge is bad for working past 9pm or so though once the live music begins. The couches are a bit dusty too.

Different strokes for different folks. I thrive in the noise of the Tea Lounge. I also second the Ace Hotel, which includes a Stumptown for you coffee fiends.
