For most of us, autumn means getting back into the nitty-gritty of our jobs, pounding out endless amounts of work, or heading back to school for some major studying. If you're looking for a new, lesser-known study escape, we've rounded up eight perfect spots throughout New York City where you can go to get all your work done (and chug a coffee or two) while enjoying the scenery and comfort of the space. So instead of rushing to the New York Public Library, check out our slideshow for libraries, cafes, hotel spaces, and more.
