Just another reason you absolutely have to visit Brooklyn Bridge Park - Wi-Fi is now available on the waterfront promenade, Pier 6, Main Street, and the Empire Fulton Ferry. CBS even rated it in their "Top 7 Best Parks with Wi-Fi."

Who could've guessed what was once the most gloriously filthy park in Manhattan would one day be blessed with unlimited free Wi-Fi? Part of Bloomberg and AT&T's Wi-Fi initiative in public parks, if you're looking to surf in Tompkins there's best service by the Field House.

If you can't find internet in Union Square, you're doing it wrong. In addition to the plethora of indoor spots with public networks available, there's free Wi-Fi outside too (SSID is the wildly original unionsquarewifi). Protip: avoid the Greenmarket on Wednesdays and Saturdays or you'll have no room to perch with your laptop. Oh, and using the internet to look up chess moves to offer the masters who'll play you for $5 a game is, in fact, cheating.

Why Leave Astoria Park, asks one blog, questioning the sanity of any and everyone who've ever thought that the world could give them anything Astoria Park couldn't. The free wi-fi is certainly a strong pro for their argument. Find the Field House, adjacent to the tennis courts, for best signal.

Are Google results different in Queens? Come to Flushing Meadows and find out (best service by the Near Discovery Center). While you're out there, stop by the Queen's Museum or imagine the future while looking at the old World's Fair's space-age towers. The Lemon Ice King of Corona is also nearby (and delicious).

With free unlimited Wi-Fi in McCarren Park, you'll have more WorldStar material, both live and recorded, then you could possibly watch in one sitting. Gather round the restrooms for the most bars.

Brooklyn's biggest green space has Wi-Fi hotspots all over the place, in both the Picnic House and the Bandshell. While the free public service is certainly a boon for many, a 2011 Brooklyn Paper article reported on a few people who weren't so enthusiastic. Hopefully service has improved by now.

Supplied out of New Chelsea Market, the High Line is all wired up. So if the naked voyeurs at The Standard don't fulfill your park-going lust, now you can watch whatever you want on everyone's favorite elevated-railway-turned-park. Password is gentrification69.

"A surprise oasis in the middle of East Harlem," says one enthusiastic reviewer of the free unlimited Wi-Fi in Thomas Jefferson Park. The Barrio's all wired in, so come by and power on. Stick by the "Near Park Building," if you want the best service.

Thanks to the Downtown Alliance, City Hall Park has Wi-Fi—albeit barely. According to testers at DNAinfo, the connection is painfully slow (although not as bad as Bowling Green, where they couldn't even find a connection).

The birthplace of Manhattan is becoming a new outdoor mall—but hey, at least there's free Wi-Fi. On a less bitter note, there's plenty of pop-up restaurants, free movies, and concerts to keep you entertained if you run out of cute cat GIFs to troll. Beware the hordes of tourists.

There must be unlimited online access in heaven, if you believe in that kind of stuff. Or come close with the free Wi-Fi at the Elevated Acre, a lovely patch of shade and grass in the shadow of downtown skyscrapers.

Lions and tigers and dial-up, oh my! As part of AT&T's citywide initiative, the Queens Zoo is the 23rd NYC Parks location to become a hotspot.

The (warning: PDF!) Chelsea Improvement Company and Google have together created NYC's "largest contiguous Wi-Fi network" spanning southwest Chelsea, and making it a "hot" neighborhood—in terms of both wireless connectivity and flaming real estate prices. See a full map of the coverage (PDF again, sorry) here.

On a more somber note, the Queen Elizabeth II garden memorial for the 67 British citizens who died in 9/11 now has free Wi-Fi, another "hotspot" in the Downtown Alliance's extensive network. Located in Hanover Square, this not-so-well-known nook is a spot of relative solitude in an otherwise densely packed area.
