Passing through town and in need of a place to work? Let us point you in the right direction with seven New York City co-working spaces that offer day passes.

NEW YORK CITY - Mixing work and pleasure while traveling is becoming more and more common, so finding a nice space with reliable WiFi in an unfamiliar place is of the utmost importance — even when you're on vacation. New York City is home to dozens of co-working spaces, many of which offer day passes, but perks like yoga classes, concierge services, and nap rooms make a few stand out. Settle in at one of these seven beautifully designed spaces, including Fathom's very own home base.

What's to love: We're partial to the wellness-minded co-working space Fathom calls home. Modern furnishings, beautiful travel photographs from Cereal co-founder and photographer Rich Stapleton, and an abundance of green plants create a warm and inviting environment. A fully-stocked coffee bar with super friendly baristas churns out lattes and serves an assortment of baked goods — including impossibly delicious vegan muffins from Brooklyn Whiskers. There's a fitness studio with a roster of classes that range from yoga and meditation to bootcamp and group runs, making it easy to take a mid-day self-care break and freshen up in the sleek locker room with changing rooms and showers. Also on offer: an assortment of interesting talks and networking events.

Cost: $30 per day (includes fitness class). Fathom readers can take advantage of a special monthly rate of $300 (regularly $400) or weekly rate of $75.
