WeWork 5th Avenue coworking space fills five floors with warm and welcoming vibes in a handsome building in Midtown East. It’s close to just about everything—the B, D, F, M, N, R, and Q subway lines are a couple of blocks away at Herald Square, and the 4, 5, 6, 7, and S lines are a bit farther away at Grand Central. Parking is also easy to find in the neighborhood. Members here recommend Pokeworks, a popular sushi spot just around the corner, but with the wealth of restaurants in the area, it’s easy to turn lunchtime into a culinary adventure. For the convenience of Midtown, you can’t beat the location of WeWork 5th Avenue.
Built in 1914, the Stewart & Company building is a designated New York City landmark. The office space inside weaves the vibe of the neighboring Garment District into its design, playing on fashion, patterns, prints, and retail displays. The reception desk, for example, is designed to look like an industrial clothing rack, while metal grids displaying art mimic those found in retail shops. The space has an open floor plan, high ceilings, and lots of natural light to illuminate your workday. And with 17 conference rooms and a dedicated brainstorming space, finding a place to meet with your team is easy.
The compound has multiple lounges that are living-room-style spaces designed for creativity, comfort, and productivity
The compound is located near restaurants, bars & coffee shops

To the full article at BloombergThis is by far my favorite WeWork location in NYC and around the country. Very knowledgable and attentive community leaders - special shout out to Eve and Olive - who are always on top of things and get any request taken care of very promptly. As far as amenities go, they have it all from cold brew on tap, hot coffee, tea, rotating beer on every floor and spacious conference rooms to use for presentations. Businesses are friendly and are focused on work but are also sociable at their weekly happy hours. If you can pick your office location with wework, this would be my number 1 recommendation
Cool place for a working space. The people they are usually young and respectful of the personal space. Clean and well maintained for that many people working there
Bad elevator, dirty stairways, bathroom questionable at times
the main door is always locked and doorman cannot see the visitors easily. it is not an ideal office building setup for any business accepting a lot of walk-in customers.
Great Environment but not great people, beware who you choose to work with
