Hi all...I'm new to this board so not sure if this is a topic that has been covered before, but I'd like to get a list of the cool neighborhood places that have WiFi.

I know the obvious ones - Tea Lounge, Connecticut Muffin, Red Horse. Red Horse is my fav.

Thanks!

EDIT: Ignore my reference to Tea Lounge. I've never been to either one and after reading some other posts I don't think I ever will go.

    Tea Lounge does have free WiFi, which -- I think -- is why they're as popular as they are. (I'm part of a group that knits there every other Thursday, and sometimes it's so crowded that we end up splitting into two sections.)

    You might want to try going to the library. Sure, the hours could be a lot better, but BPL's got free WiFi in all its branches.

    Naidre's wifi is on all day long. They only had it off during lunch for a little while, about 2 years ago. One of the only places you can get good food along with doing your work!!

    Postmark Cafe is a good looking, cozy place, but the coffee sucks. It's really bland and watery. Which is sad because I wanted to like the place. I only had the house coffee, maybe they do other things OK? Not sure, but I won't go back.

    Dunno. Maybe they'll cut a takeout window?
