To wifi or not to wifi, that's the question.
The City feels like 1 big hotspot. Starbucks, stores, hotels, restaurants even the subway stations have wifi! Now we only wait till it’s active on the trains too to be connect everywhere.
As an overseas tourist your phone bill can get rather high if you don’t watch out. But the days of hidden roaming costs are long gone. FaceTiming home is free when you are on the hotel wifi. You can even connect to the Empire States Building hotspot and share the view when FaceTiming your loved ones back home.
I get it, I’m an Instagram addict myself, you want to share all those beautiful pictures on your socials. Instantly.
Believe me when I say there are more than enough hotspots to connect.
But if you want to be connected all the time during your stay, I’ve got you covered!

4: Disconnect and explore!
Go from hotspot to hotspot and enjoy the real city view in between :).
I’ve been visiting the city pre-smartphone age (I know! I don’t get it either!) and during Lets-Gram-The-Shit-Out-Of-It. I’ve never felt short of wifi. I’ve never felt the need to buy a card.
Trust me, you’ll be so busy exploring you will not have the time to check your social media feeds.
Let me know in the comments what you are planning to do!
Always in an Empire State of Mind,
B
