replying to u/donyon: Villager has the best drink quality and coffee selection. It’s viable as a space to work but the overall coffee quality is probably the best in those three neighborhoods.

replying to u/Snoo-18544: NYC isn't a great city for 3rd wave/specialty coffee, the coffee movement popularized by places like Oregon stumptown. The best near union square is probably la cabra. For Thai and south east Asian near union square laut and soothr are good. They are average price by NYC standards (which is 50 to 75 per person without alcohol. Sobaya and Raku would be cool places to try if you've never had soba or udon. They are in east village which is adjacent to union square. West coast is better for affordable sushi and tacos, so you may want to save those things for a California trip. NYC has good sushi, but entry level here is a 100$ per person affair. For tacos, taqueria ramirez can hang with anywhere, but you will be paying 5$ per taco minimum which is standard in manhattan. I would recommend going into China town and doing a cheap food crawl. There are plenty of youtube videos showing what to do. Union square is a big transit hub and 4 stops on the six train which runs frequently gets you to canal street which is the heart of China town.
“I don’t think that’s true anymore there’s plenty of great 3rd wave coffee here now if you know where to look. Bushwick in particular has a bunch (Sey, Dayglow, Loveless, and La Cabra), and there’s others scattered across the city (Suited, Three Legged Cat, Do not feed alligators, Principles GI., Villager, Hamlet, etc. )”

replying to u/misterfloods: Villager is the best cafe in the neighborhood. I mean this respectfully, but if you don't like what they've got going on, it's possible you don't like third-wave coffee. Rita & Maria is another great cafe. Prima has perfectly ok coffee but a great vibe. Hamlet down in PLG is nice too.
“Maybe they had an off day when I went.”
