It's supposed to be 98 degrees in NYC, and the apartment in which I'm staying for the month has no air conditioner. Rather than stay inside and pass out from heat exhaustion, I've taken my studies to the streets. But I couldn't possibly read without wifi - how else would I be able to distract myself from the riveting text related to social justice and educational access? Finding a place that allows me to sit all day while spending little money is difficult. OpenWifiNYC lists places around the city with wifi, the strength of it and power outlets that are available. Unfortunately it's just a list without any ability for me to find a place by neighborhood. It doesn't actually have a very long list either, and this couldn't be a comprehensive directory of all the wifi hotspots in the city. However, kudos to them for the attempt.




S B. Hi. I noticed that openwifinyc.com has a list sortable by neighborhood. It also says the type of spot (i.e. library, cafe, park, etc.) Maybe it's new since you last used the site. Good luck with the heat!
T N. oh my goodness. i don't think it's new, i think i was just not observant enough... thank you!!!!
T N. i needed that as i just moved (to a place with A/C, at that!) and am desperate to find a spot in the UWS that's not a starbucks.
Kam Y. I work on the road, T Mobile, my cell carrier, has a hotspot app that is pretty consistent in delivering decent wifi locations. I am rarely more than ten minutes tops from an open hookup. Even if you don't have T Mobile your cell carrier have a similar resource to lacate good locations.
Kam Y. Umm...locate. Ha!
T N. i'm glad you didn't say "lactate", to be honest.
