The Elk Tucked into the West Village, this serene and inviting space is perfect for meeting just about anyone. Their food is nothing short of scrumptious, and there are plenty of dedicated “no laptop” tables (which is awesome, when you think about it).

Toby’s Estate  With rich coffee and free wifi, this Brooklyn cafe is popular with neighborhood locals. But, it’s not just their stunning wooden tables that have us photographing Toby’s Estate, it’s also an incredible wall of shelves — perfect for a shelfie.
