The search for the holy grail...

Or at least some wireless internet has proved to be harder than expected.
The internet functions as our lifeline in this project - Not only to keep in contact with friends and family, but also to make it possible for us to post on our website and so on.
But finding a place where we can use our own computers and for a decent price has proven to be a challenge - Some places it costs as much as 10$ for 30 minutes which will soon eat our entire budget - The best place we found, besides the expensive hotspots, are a bar called Ace Bar, located at 531 East 5th street(NY). It's a cozy bar which feature two big pool tables, darts, pinball machines and some other games you usually don't see in bars - It also has a big display of vintage metal lunch-boxes which are actually more cool than it sounds. But the important thing for us was the free wifi access that they have, but since the bar owner naturally expect us to buy something to drink regularly, a few hours of internet-access can soon prove to be fairly expensive, especially when needing access regularly. Another really nice thing for wifi users is that Ace Bar has several AC plugs that you can use to power your laptops as long as you wish. All in all a very nice place to have fun with your friends

But after searching high and low, we finally found the holy grail! So without further ado, I can tell you that the holy grail is located at 40th street and fifth avenue - It's called the New York public library - The internet is stable, fairly fast and very cheap - Ie. free :o) In room 108 they also have lot's of AC plugs you can plug into, which seems to be very popular among the many people who often occupy the room.

The library itself is huge, and when I say huge, i mean HUGE! The sheer size of the building is aweinspiring, and you can soon get lost if you don't know where you are going. I can't really say anything about the books or other services they provide since we have only been there for the internet-access, but I suspect you will be able to find just about anything in there, with some help from the staff.
Coming from Denmark, it is quite an experience to see this library - Even a large Danish library doesn't even come close in any aspect. Actually, even a Barnes & Nobles store has a larger selection of great books than a large Danish library - This is not saying that a Danish library is bad, but a statement about how big Barnes & Nobles is and the impressive selection of books available - But more on this later.
