I'm using Starbucks free wifi. Pretty great stuff. Knew they'd do this eventually. The Astor Place Starbucks is a very interesting place. Two guys are playing chess right next to me. I think they have a good business model. I paid $5 and change for my coffee and a scone.
Another thing that works better in NY than in Calif -- health care. I got into see a doctor today and immediately was able to set up appointments for next week that would have taken months in Calif. Obviously I'm just getting started with health care in NY, but so far so good.
