Almost as important is easy access to public transport, especially when a startup begins to grow and has employees coming from all over (Brooklyn, New Jersey, Long Island, Harlem, Upper West, etc.). It is just not nearly as easy to get to Soho as it is Herald Square or Times Square.

Which company's location most surprises you?
