We have so many great places to see, things to do, and restaurants in the neighborhood. One we haven’t mentioned yet is a real jewel not only of the Flatiron District, but of New York City; and it’s not just our opinion: It has been voted #1 CitySearch and Spur Magazine (Japan’s #1 Fashion Magazine) for New Lounges/Bar and voted #2 by AOL CityGuide. It has also graced the “Editors Choice Top 100,” in Nightclub and Bar Magazine.

The facility consists of a Penthouse Lounge and a Rooftop Bar.

The Penthouse Lounge, with it’s 1940s modernist decor, seats 600. It has floor to ceiling glass windows, which affords views down the Hudson as far as the Statue of Liberty! The views offered are simply stunning. You can enjoy your meal while watching the sunset over your New York Office.

The Rooftop Bar – part of which is covered by very large, oversized umbrellas – gives you an upclose and personal view of the City – surrounded by palm trees. In the winter, heat lamps and red robes keep you warm.

It’s a great place to go for drinks and an early dinner after your meeting at the office. The Restaurant is open and serving food from 4pm to 4am / 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are also now serving brunch every Saturday and Sunday with over 40 items at a very affordable $8-$12. You can check out their menu here. Space is also available for private/corporate events, birthday, and holiday parties.

Reservations are not necessary unless you have a party of ten or more. You can call 212.725.4300 to make a reservation or ask the receptionist to make the reservation for you.

We have a new temporary addition to the neighborhood: 18ft high plastic flowers – they aren’t only colorful and fun, they are productive. You can sit at the bottom of the flower and charge your laptops or cell phone and use the free WiFi – all of it powered by solar panels on the back of each flower petal. There are 5 flowers, each with seating for 10 people.

They are available everyday from 8am to 9pm ONLY through August 2. We would love permanent fixtures with these capabilities.

The flowers are an advertising campaign to bring awareness to the 3rd Generation 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid. The theme: Harmony between Man, Nature and Machine.

Enjoy them while there here. They made their first stop in Boston. After NYC: Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Are you a small business person working from home? Do you work remotely from your corporate headquarters? Are you working in your pajamas? Do you telecommute? If so, we need your expert advise on working outside of a traditional office environment.

We’ve asked the question lately:

Do you work virtually? If so, What do you miss most from a traditional office environment?

Chit-chatting over the water cooler? “Free” office supplies? Coffee breaks with colleagues? Birthday cakes? People? People was the most common response! Here are a few responses we received via Twitter:

@dockane: People.

@GretaKirkland: Sometimes I miss the people, but then I remember the whining about kids and stuffy noses and then I don’t miss them.

@GretaKirkland: Sometimes I miss someone to help with a deadline or if I need a break. I don’t get those.

As people are working virtually more and more these days, how do you handle the lack of personal contact? What do you miss from a traditional office environment? What are your tips and advise for people heading into the virtual world. We’d like to hear from you! Please submit your tips/ideas in the comments field at the bottom of the page.

Thank you in advance,
The Team at Manhattan Virtual Office.com

PS: When the virtual worker needs a physical space, we are here for you…

We finally stopped by the new Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership information booth. The booth has a supply of area maps and information cards on the free Sunday walking tours.

If you are coming into the office for a meeting, and don’t get a chance to visit the new information booth, we have a stock of the maps and walking tour brochures in the reception area.

Are you in the area often? Lunching at the ShakeShack? Using Madison Square Park’s free WiFi? Where do you meet with clients?

We can assist with a physical presence for your virtual life.

As we head into prime vacation season rest assured that your New York office is hard at work for you. While you are relaxing by the pool, lake, beach… on your vacation or staycation – go off confidently knowing that we are working and running your office for you.

If you have yet to open your virtual office and/or wondering how this can help you, keep in mind that having a virtual office allows you to work from anywhere. The only thing virtual about our office is that you are not, nor necessarily have to be physically located at the office to effectively do your work. You can work from anywhere while we run the office for you.

However, when the virtual worker has a need for a physical office, to meet with a client for example, that’s where our services at Manhattan Virtual Office .com truly comes through for you. You are issued a physical office address in midtown Manhattan’s trendy Flatiron District on Broadway. You can use the office address to receive correspondence, list on your business cards, stationary, website – just as you would with any physical office address. You are NOT issued just a mailbox or a mock Suite number; Hence, you will not experience the limitations that a non-physical address service would cause you. When guests visit you at your office, they walk right into your well appointed office suite and our receptionist will greet them on your behalf.

With our New York virtual office service, you have access to reception, private office/meeting space and are assigned a friendly office assistant to help coordinate your meetings, interviews, training sessions if needed.

Work from home, work from the beach, work from your campsite, work from anywhere – we’ll man and run the office for you. Open your New York business presence today. It only takes just about a business day!
