As the world's foremost financial, commercial and cultural centers, Manhattan is possible one of the best work locations in not just New York City but possibly, the world. 

As a New Yorker or someone visiting on business, looking for somewhere to work, you're overloaded with an anxiety-inducing array of options. For example, in New York alone, there are a whopping 32 WeWork spaces from which to choose, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

If you're finding it difficult shortlisting your favorite Manhattan shared office spaces, you've landed on the right page. We've done the research, read the reviews, and have compiled the best coworking and flex spaces in and near Manhattan.

From the conventional to the distinctive, the simple to the extravagant, we've listed our best Manhattan coworking spaces that meet diverse requirements, budgets and styles.

WeWork has been around since the dawn of coworking. They've laid the foundation for coworking, providing diverse workspace solutions, amenities and services for businesses and professionals around the globe. 

In typical WeWork fashion, you'll find this business center close to major subways for easy travelling and a stone's throw from Midtown East's vast selection of cafes, bars, boutique shops and upscale hotels. 

WeWork signature esthetic combines bold and modern undertones with sleekness and professionalism, a look replicated at this office space in Midtown East. 

Its polished interiors feature subtle elements like light wood flooring, office plants, pretty flowers, cosy armchairs, comfy work spots and more. 

Rapid internet, business-class printers, phone booths and other basics are covered. You can also take advantage of amenities unique to this coworking space. These include wellness rooms and living-room-style communal spaces for casual meetups.

Spoiler alert - you'll be seeing a couple of WeWork offers on this list. That's because several contenders are vying for the top post, boasting WeWork's high caliber esthetics and functionality, but each with their distinctive identities you'll love at first sight. 

Take a look at this space if you're looking for community and convenience in Soho, Lower Manhattan. 

We'd describe its setting as refreshing and versatile; a workspace where you can hold high-powered meetings with influential clients or, equally, work from a cosy armchair in comfortable surroundings.

Up for grabs are a wide variety of memberships. Every company and career person have their needs considered, from hot desks for digital nomads and dedicated desk space for small startups to sleek offices for bigger businesses.

The smaller details differentiate a good work hub from a great one, and WeWork are known for including little perks that make a mountain of difference in a workplace experience.

Their Honesty Market is an excellent example of this, especially if you need a quick and convenient pick me up and private bathrooms with showers if you like to balance your day with exercise during office hours.

Leave behind your poorly designed, uninspired office for a workspace at The Farm Soho. 

The Farm Soho enjoys a rustic and warm environment that members love from the instant they move in. Like various New York coworking spaces, The Farm Soho has an open loft setup that gives members space to sprawl out and get comfortable for a long-haul day.

The backstory of how The Farm Soho started is interesting. On discovering an old and unused barn in Missouri, The Farm Soho founders had it transported piece-by-piece to Manhattan, with the vision to create a collaborative and nurturing office environment for its working community. 

The Farm Soho provides a different working experience that combines organic, whimsical-type elements enmeshed with state-of-the-art technology. If you're looking for a New York-based coworking space with a countryside feel that helps you escape the chaos of city work life, don't miss out on this!

Bonuses are a hideaway tree for those who need extra quiet privacy or need a recharge. Oh, also unlimited coffee - it's good and, more importantly, free!
