With Kettlespace’s affordable fees it will be easy to set up office for the day. The all-wood coworking space has bright lighting that feels cheerful while you work.

Since the existing restaurant seating is used, there are no lounge areas with sofas and couches like some of the fancier coworking spaces in Manhattan.

When you take a break, it's an easy walk to Central Park where lakes, restaurants, and a living memorial await you. If you have an hour If you only have an hour and you happen to love the Beatles, take your lunch to Strawberry Fields, Central Park's living memorial dedicated to John Lennon.

After you get to the park’s 72nd Street entrance, it's another 3 minutes to the memorial.

If you have two hours If you have more time, Loeb Boathouse is also in this section of Central Park. It’s around a 15 minutes walk, but the gondola and boat rides are worth the walk.

Rockefeller Center is 22 acres of shopping, food, and famous attractions like The Observation Deck and The Rockefeller Christmas Tree. If you book Regus’ coworking space, you’ll only need to take a few steps to be in the center of it all.
