Writer's retreat NewYork Edition - Best cafes for Writers, Bloggers and Students (Writer's Retreat
Inspirational Travel Guides) by Juliet C. Obodo is one of a series of guides
for various cities across the globe. The guides focus on the best cafes for
writers in each city. This guide is for New York City.
What a great idea! I
wish there was a guide like this for my home town! How many times have you gone
searching for that perfect café where you get good cheap coffee, food, quiet
but not dead quiet, centrally located but not so popular that you can't get a
table, a café with atmosphere, pleasant waiters, large enough tables to hold a
laptop and the most important thing free WiFi. Not any less important is that
there are power outlets close to the tables in case you need to recharge your
laptop. Well I for one have often gone searching for my favorite café to set up
camp in and write a few blog posts or articles.
It's not just this
century that cafes have been popular writer's hangouts but in previous
centuries they didn't have this guide! The criteria by which the cafes listed in
this guide were selected are:
·
Pleasant décor
·
Reasonably friendly staff
·
Reasonable menu prices
·
Most take credit cards
·
Most have free WiFi
·
Some have a readers corner
·
They are loiter friendly!
It took the author 6
years of time spent in cafes writing her book (Written in the Sky: Rise of The
Wadjet Witch) to compile this list. The author includes suggested inspirational
itinerates in the café's surroundings if you want to take a self-guided walking
tour of the area. The author also recommends café etiquette including ordering
something from the menu; sitting at a table that won't be in the way; being
polite and making sure you tip the staff.
The guide then lists
recommended cafes for writers according to the boroughs of New York. The café address,
website address and open hours are listed as well as a short blurb about the café's
highlights.
This guide will serve
not only writers in the Big Apple and not only writers traveling to the Big
Apple but also the average tourist who wants to see how the locals live and get
to know NYC away from the tourist area. If you visit some of the cafes in this
guide you'll get to see parts of the city that most visitors don't even know
about.
So for writers,
travelers, New Yorkers, coffee lovers, café lovers and just plain lovers this
guide will open up a whole new world of café opportunities in New York City.
