Sometimes if it&#8217;s especially gross out or I&#8217;m feeling lazy, I&#8217;ll work in the living room instead of my bedroom so that it&#8217;s a slight change of scenery. Most of the time though, I find myself in coffee shops typing away or editing photos\u00a0on my laptop.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, I&#8217;ve become quite acquainted with laptop friendly environments.<\/p>\n<h4>Pavement Coffee House<\/h4>\n<p>My stomping grounds. I frequent the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pavementcoffeehouse.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pavement<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on Commonwealth Ave, however, if you don&#8217;t want to be surrounded by BU students and\/or faculty I&#8217;d recommend checking out another one of their locations. If you don&#8217;t mind, then it&#8217;s a great environment to sit down and get\u00a0stuff done. I&#8217;m here more times a week than I&#8217;d like to admit.<\/p>\n<p>WIFI:\u00a0Yes<br \/>\nCOFFEE:\u00a0Counter Culture<\/p>\n<h4>Caff\u00e8 Nero<\/h4>\n<p>I went through so many\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.caffenero.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Caff\u00e8 Nero<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0loyalty cards when I studied abroad in London because they were everywhere (including down the street from my classroom building). Somehow it took me an entire year of being back in Boston to figure out there&#8217;s not one, but many\u00a0Caff\u00e8 Nero locations here too. I recently went to the one in Washington Square and I fell in love. It&#8217;s a very rustic chic environment with great cappuccino (also their hummus is unreal, random I know) that&#8217;s perfect for catching up on work.<\/p>\n<p>WIFI:\u00a0Yes &#8212; 3 hour limit<br \/>\nCOFFEE:\u00a0Caff\u00e8 Nero<\/p>\n<h4>Tatte Bakery and Cafe<\/h4>\n<p>Especially\u00a0when the weather is nice out, the outdoor seating at the Charles Street\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/tattebakery.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Tatte<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0ideal. If you&#8217;re more of an indoor person, the Tatte in Harvard Square has a lot of seating (but is often crowded). Another big plus for me is the fact that they serve Stumptown coffee &#8212; one of my personal favorites.<\/p>\n<p>WIFI:\u00a0Yes<br \/>\nCOFFEE:\u00a0Stumptown<\/p>\n<h4>Boston Public Library<\/h4>\n<p>Last, but certainly not least is the man, the myth, the legend (okay maybe not the first 2):\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bpl.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Boston Public Library<\/strong><\/a>. After being renovated last year, BPL now has two different vibes for the public\u00a0to enjoy.\u00a0Go through the main entrance and up the staircase to experience\u00a0the traditional &#8220;omg am I in Hogwarts?!&#8221; areas. Enter\u00a0from the side of the building, on Boylston Street, for a modern and bright\u00a0wing of the library.
