I enjoyed my stay at this location and got a chance to meet people from all over the world: Australia, Belgium, Germany, Japan, China, Brazil and other places too. There are two very modern cafes in the area MaiMai and Cafe787 where you can go and eat some Vegan food, homemade baked goods, drink awesome coffee and get some work done because they have free Wi-Fi:-). There is also a Mexican Restaurant around the corner called "Maisonetta" where you can eat authentic Mexican food. This location is an oases for every Artist, Backpacker, Nomad, traveler and anyone wanting to enjoy NYC without breaking the bank. In terms of travel there are buses and trains readily available. There are also attendants there who take care for the upkeep of the place and to make sure that everything is running smoothly. This was a great find!
