4. The IBM Plaza

One of the most plush atriums, there are literally birds flying around you, singing and chirping. One would be hard pressed to remember that you’re only a few blocks away from one of the worlds busiest intersections: 57th Street in midtown Manhattan. There are sandwiches, coffee and free Wifi available – one of the most relaxing hours you will spend! There is also an entrance from here into Trump Tower, should that strike your fancy. Another perk: this building is filled with great art, not only inside the atrium but the entrance lobby of the building has Kenny Scharf, Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder and Jeff Koons work.

The IMB Plaza is located at 590 Madison Avenue (at 57th Street). Take the 4/5/6 or N/R to 59th Street
