Depending on time of day and time constraints, it's possible that public libraries are an option. I know Brooklyn PL has a two-hour limit on meeting rooms, but I am pretty sure that some of my local Queens libraries have enough space you can just sit and run a game for three hours with no problem. I know teen groups do.
One option I've been investigating is the few privately owned public spaces (POPS) that have seating (and in some cases, climate control). There is a website with a listing here: https://apops.mas.org/ Most of the better places are in Manhattan, I believe.
I also noticed this website. Not sure if it's helpful or not, but it might be worthwhile peeking at: https://thirdplaces.nyc/
