Ubiquitous WiFi, it's not here yet but we're getting close. I spent the first half of today at gramstand in Stuyvesant Town (Ave A and 14th st) enjoying first a lychee then a berry citrus ice tea and all the while, free WiFi. In fact, at one point the cafe's connection died and I switched to another free network I was in range of.

The end of my afternoon was spent at Bread Tribeca where they also serve free WiFi, along with delicious apple martinis made with aquavit, apple puree, and a sparkling apple cider. Their imported meat and cheese plate was perfect finger food while I surfed as well.
