Geek out
This is extremely useful information for those of us who like to be untethered. For everyone else, this will be hopelessly geeky - Home Page: Coffee and Wireless in Boston
Now, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to take issue with the statement that Boston has "the best cafe culture on the Eastern Seaboard" since:
A)I have yet to find more than one cafe here (Someday Cafe, Davis Sq) that stays open past 8 or 9pm on a daily basis, and even that is a rarity. Most close by 8pm and some close as early as 6pm. (WTF? Doesn't anyone here work for a living?)
B)I can't find a single cafe outside of Newbuy-hell that has any outdoor seating/service, which is ASININE in the spring, summer, and fall (ie: 3/4 of the year) with all the fantastic weather we have here,
C) hell, I've had a hard time finding a cafe with more than 4 seats, for that matter -- note: a coffee machine and two chairs does not a cafe make, and
D)my piss-ant, backwater (by Northeastern standards) hometown, Atlanta, has half a dozen FANTASTIC cafes within 5 miles of each other.
Now come on, if ATLANTA has a better "cafe culture" then you KNOW Boston's got a long way to go on this.
Still - this is all good to know, 'cuz sometimes you just want to hang out at the cafe with all your imaginary friends.

My guy and I were just talking about that the other day- where can we go besides Starbucks to find a comfy seat and a yummy warm beverage? Slim pickings...
