Found A Starbucks Even Closer To My Hotel This one is on 57th, between 8th and 9th Avenues. It wasn't on the map of hotspots that I had managed to find earlier, and which had led me to one that I had to walk across Columbus Circle (which is under construction, so street crossings are even more of a challenge than usual) in order to get to. This one is just three blocks from the hotel. Signal here isn't all that strong, but throughput seems to be adequate. Update I just found yet another Starbucks on 57th, this one between 6th and 7th Avenues, a couple of doors down from Carnegie Hall. It's closer to the hotel than either of the other two, and it does have power outlets in the seating area, but it doesn't have any comfy chairs and the service was the slowest I've ever seen in a Starbucks. Nor does it seem to have quite as good people-watching potential as the Columbus Circle location.
