Posted: 12/18/03 at 12:40pmI think there is one next to the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on 49th Street, where "Nine" recently played.

Posted: 12/18/03 at 12:45pmThere's one right on 42nd St. between the Lion King and Applebees, I think. I'm almost positive it's on 42nd between 7th and 8th-- on the same side of the street as Lion King and Madame Toussaud's (spelling?).

Posted: 12/18/03 at 12:46pmThere is an internet cafe on 42nd St., between 7th and 8th, right next to the very obvious McDonald's. It's pretty large, and not too expensive.

Posted: 12/18/03 at 2:35pmThe one on 42nd is kind of scummy, isn't it? I used it last year. Is the one on 49th better or worse?

Posted: 12/18/03 at 6:03pmTry the visitors & conevention bureau in the old Embassy Theater next to the Palace. They have a bank of computers you can use for free for 10 minutes. You can even e mail a friend . This is what Chinkie refers to in his/her post

I work at the Visitor's Center!!!! (At Theatre Stuff, Inc.) Yes, there's about 7 computers... the lines not too bad, usually and it's a ten minute limit. But you can go back in line if you're not done. 
It's free... not so shabby! And it's a cute, clean little place unlike the Internet Cafe on 42nd St. It's pretty raunchy in there... had to go in a few times when I was switching services to check my mail. Very schevy.

Posted: 12/20/03 at 12:02pmI know you were asking about Times Square, but I have to wonder if the public library in NYC has internet access? The one here in Providence does. (14 machines, 30 minutes generally but up to 2 hours if you phone in a reservation. You can phone in up to 24 hours in advance of needing the computer. If you're more than 10 minutes late, you lose your reservation.)

Posted: 12/20/03 at 12:23pmBefore I started traveling with my laptop and staying at places with internet access, I went to the Times Square Visitors Center (and still do when I'm in the area and want a quick check of my e-mail) and the internet cafe on 42nd (very reasonable, but yes rather scruffy looking). I ignored it's appearance only for the convenience of having cheap online access. You can wait a long time time at Times Square and people don't always yield the computer after 10 minutes!

Posted: 12/20/03 at 10:09pmThe Internet Cafe on 42nd street is scummy. This is a definite consideration with the flu going around. Take some Purell if you need to go in. Also, they don't have printing capabilities. I print out my boarding pass the day before my flight leaves, and I go to the internet cafe by the Eugene O'Neill. It's a bit more expensive, but it's cleaner, and you can print stuff out.
