"It’s a huge, beautiful coffeeshop with an amazing view."
Cons:
"Now the charm has worn off somewhat due to the fact that it’s so crowded."
"The place is long and bright with a floor to ceiling patio door leading to a deck by the Hudson River."
"It's too noisy due to the acoustics to get work done in the front of house but towards the window is quiet."

"The sad part is that the small deck or amphitheater is filthy and full of clutter and it always been like this through the year."
"Very neglected place. I would want to give this place a 5 star but after going to the back the couch was ripped and it wasn’t clean."
"The place is dirty and they are using the back as a closet, the electric sockets don’t work on the tables."
Internet and Work Environment
Pros:
"can't go wrong with this local spot but it's hard to find a spot as it's so popular with realtors and entrepreneurs and people who work from home like me, we get free WiFi and get to see New York City views right on the Hudson River."
"Great place to sit for a meeting where you don’t have to do any talking."
"I recommend it to those who have a meeting or study online."

"It's a perfect place to get work done. Parking is on site and free."
Cons:
"The internet works 5% of the time and even then it is abysmally slow."
"But paying customers apparently not allowed to use their Wi-Fi."
"Problem is the internet blows...it'd probably be quicker running to the library and coming back..."
"No Wi-Fi means they don't want people to stay inside and work but it isn't necessary as the tables are wobbly."
"No internet, and apparently a dead zone for TMobile too."
"The wifi sucks. There is never a good signal."
"The WiFi did not work (you get connected to their WiFi, but NO INTERNET connection)."
