We're in NYC, but can't get good access to a wireless connection. So if you need to reach me, please keep in mind that my Internet connection will most likely be sporadic, at best.
If you're downtown, try the parks: Bryant Park behind the NY Public Library, Battery Park, the Winter Garden, City Hall Park, Wall Street Park, 60 Wall Street/the Atrium, Bowling Green Park, Stone Street, and South Street Seaport all have free wireless. I think Prospect Park does, too, but I've never taken my iBook 'cross the river before.
Wow! Thanks for the pointers; as it is, what we're really looking for is a wireless connection in the vicinity of Forest Hills, Queens...but if we have a chance, we'll try the parks.
Forest Hills is lovely! I think the public library there in town has free WiFi -- hope you have some fun. Check out Eddie's Sweet Shop on Metropolitan Avenue if you get a shot and if you haven't already.
From queenslibrary.org: If you are bringing in your own laptop and wish to use our Internet connection you will need: A Queens Library Card and a PIN number (which may be established at the Central Library or any branch in Queens);
It sounds like this might require some finagling for out-of-town visitors to use.

Date: 2006-07-02 03:32 am (UTC)I didn't know that the library might have free WiFi; I mostly lived in Forest Hills before such things. I'll check it out; thanks so much!
(Out of curiosity, how did you end up reading this post? I don't think we know each other...)

Might I add I'm jealous of your history with Forest Hills. Such a lovely area. Glad your trip went well!
