There’s wifi in the lobby. It’s called Hilton Honors or something. Worked for me in March.
Jeff: I know I sound like a T-Mobile stooge, but I continue to recommend their aircard wireless service. $30/month, unlimited usage, plug it right into your laptop and it works anywhere there is T-Mobile cellular service. Don’t know how good it is in NYC, but it works reasonably well out here in CA.
Only downside: it is very low bandwidth; about the same as an old 56kbps. But plenty for effective blogging / checking email / IM…

Hey be nice- I spent 2 years working on renovating the “Horrible Hilton” and WiFi dint even exist back then.
