Grab a window seat in the mini cabin in the front row. Galley noise is not a problem. I think it might be 7k if my memory serves. immediately in front of you, where someone would normally be sitting given the contours of the seat, you will have a shelf about 4.5 feet high. it's perfect for resting your carry-on on while retrieving something midflight. It's also perfect for putting plates/glasses on in case you want to exit your seat during meal service - or just to get them out of your way. 1a/1k/7k are the best seats on the plane.
