From Midtown to Brooklyn, each NYC neighborhood has its own charming qualities, and the same can be said for these workspaces. We checked out the offices of four of NYC tech’s growing companies for a glimpse of what it would be like to work there — think: fun rooftop happy hours and outdoor meetings at Hudson River Park. See what else these employees get to experience every day.
While healthcare data analytics company Crossix has many great features in its Midtown office, probably the best part about it is the view.

What is your favorite part of the office?
Now that it’s warm out, a lot of people love to bring their laptops upstairs to the private rooftop to enjoy the sun while getting their work done. After work, it turns into a great happy hour spot with good music, our kegerator and an ample supply of wine. It’s pretty hard to beat watching the sunset over the city.
Is there anything else unique about the space you’d like to share?
While Midtown isn’t the most exciting of locations, it is convenient. We have no shortage of tasty lunch options — plus Bryant Park is just down the street, which is perfect for getting out of the office and enjoying some good ol’ NYC people watching.

What's your favorite part of the space?
Even though we each have a desk, I love that there are so many other spots to work from. In the afternoons, I love working on the couch or at the communal table in the kitchen where we all eat lunch together on Mondays and Fridays.
Is there anything unique about your office you'd like to share?
In keeping with our Norwegian principles, we don't wear shoes in our office. It makes everyone feel more comfortable and at home. Plus, we each have an annual sock budget to step up our sock game!

Is there anything unique about your office you'd like to share?
Our CEO Harley Courts lent his personal aesthetic to our decorating style. Antiques, murals and greenery accompany modern furniture and Apple computers. We prefer comfortable and unique, but not overloaded with tchotchke. Also, we serve Caffe Vita, which is amazing coffee!
Adhawk’s Chelsea offices are located in the middle of an action-packed area of NYC.

Is there anything unique about your office you'd like to share?
Our space was occupied by an art gallery for 20 years before we moved in. To pay homage to their time here, we hired the NYC artist Joe Geis to paint a mural in our kitchen area. It's a pretty big crowd pleaser when we bring clients into the office.
