I have my software development company in India and I have come to NYC for more business. I was always in the dilemna whether to go to West (CA) or East (NY) .. I decided NYC. Haven't given me the results as I expected, may be I haven't done that much .. I am looking for opportunities. I have a professional team to back me up and 8 yrs of experience and portfolio of very interesting projects in PHP, J2EE and .NET . I am always trying to find out people to whome i can talk to and explain my business out ! I have joined Meetup.com and now will join nextny as well. . Thanks for all the advice and information, Darren. Varun Well, It is indeed a very useful piece of information for the small companies like me, who are starting to get hold in the City.

Lots of useful information. Only thing I'd have to add is that if you're an entrepreneur in the finance business, NYC is also a great place to be. And working in the book business - publishing needs those brilliant entrepreneurs to come up with ideas and shake things up a bit! Hi Darren,

great post as usual. Lots of useful information. Only thing I’d have to add is that if you’re an entrepreneur in the finance business, NYC is also a great place to be. And working in the book business – publishing needs those brilliant entrepreneurs to come up with ideas and shake things up a bit!

I've probably worked out of about 30 different NYC cafes over the last 3 years of working on my p2p startup, Last Bamboo LLC, and I wanted to add a few places to the list. First, Mule Cafe on 4th Ave in Brooklyn is great, although sometimes crowded. The Flying Saucer Cafe on Atlantic is fantastic and very uncrowded during the day. Then there's Roebling Tea Room on Roebling and Metropolitan in Williamsburg, The Lucky Cat and Atlas on Grand St., and Landscape on Union Ave in the Williamsburg area. The Tea Lounge is great, but it's insanely crowded, and the net throughput is severely lacking as a result. Housing Works on Crosby is about as good as it gets in Manhattan in my experience. Can't say I second the Soy Luck Club recommendation at all, though. I found the food way overpriced and not great at all. If you're looking for something healthy, head over to Souen on 13th by University. Hmnn...I should get an office. -Adam Great post and great topic.

I really like Soy Luck Club and its pressed coffee. Thanks for listing some very useful resources. Since I live in Brooklyn, I would recommend The Tea Lounge (http://www.tealoungeny.com/). They serve coffee, tea, and beers, with free wifi and a relaxed atmosphere. Caroline, Flagr.com allows you to create a customized map, but I'm not sure they allow collaboration. Great guide!

If you hadnt steered me towards Sunshine Suites, we'd probably be locked in a 3 year commercial lease by now. We havent been there long yet, but love the place. Darren – Very good work!
