Bryant Park has offered free wireless Internet access for well over a year. Today was the first day that I actually checked it out though. It really beats the hell out of working in the office, so from now on, if the weather is nice, you can find me in Bryant Park. I’ll be sure to forward my phone.
It is also worth noting that the Downtown Alliance has seven hotspots downtown that offer free access. Check nycwireless for other free locations.
