No… Anything

Remember the beloved Bakeri, on East 6th Street, with the outdoor table for one on top of cellar doors?

Here is a reminder:

A reminder.

I passed by their last night and the place was empty.

Maybe this is why:

No wifi.

No wifi? There might as well be no electricity!

LinkNYC

I was walking down Second Avenue recently, when I noticed this monolith:

Monolith.

No doubt on your own wanderings, you noticed them too, and even wondered what they are. Well, wonder no more!

These monoliths are called LinkNYCs!

LinkNYC is a first-of-its-kind communications network that will replace over 7,500 pay phones across the five boroughs! Each Link will provide super-fast, free public Wi-Fi, phone calls, device charging and a tablet for Internet browsing, access to city services, maps, and directions!

By the way, East Village Today first broke this story back in 2015!

East Villagers love LinkNYC!

East Village Telephone Booths to Become WiFi Stations

I was walking down Avenue A yesterday, when I heard a woman tell the group she was with that phone booths were going to be turned into WiFi outlets! "They're already wired," she said.

So I took a picture of the telephone booth that inspired her remark:

Soon to become a WiFi station.

You heard it here first!

The East Village… leading the way forward!
