BEST WIRED

HOTELS

WORLD’S BIGGEST HOT SPOT In 2004, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom an-

nounced plans to blanket the entire city with free Wi-Fi Internet access. That’s right:

Three hundred kilobits per second, from one end of San Francisco to the other. And

you won’t have to pay a penny to log on. Last October, Google made headlines

when it took up the mayor’s challenge, and the company’s joint bid with EarthLink

is one of six under consideration. IBM and Cisco are also in the mix, but our money’s

on Larry, Sergey, and the rest of the crew from Mountain View. Expect work to start

sometime this year.

FREE WI-FI HOT SPOTS

Maxﬁ eld’s House of Caffeine 398 Dolores St.

Two doors down from Mission Dolores, where Jimmy

Stewart stalked Kim Novak in Hitchcock’s famous

ﬂ ick Vertigo.

Maggie Mudd 903 Cortland Ave.

Not only can you get lactose-free vegan ice cream,

you can get lactose-free vegan wireless. You’ll have to

pay for the ice cream. But not the wireless.

Rockin’ Java 1821 Haight St.

The place to ﬁ nd geeky Deadheads in the Haight.

The wireless is free, and the coffee’s organic.

1201 Mason St.

If you’re in the mood for

some old-school 19th-

century technology.

WHILE YOU’RE IN TOWN Forget the tourist traps. Coit Tower, Chinatown, and the Wharf are all well and good, but if you want

something out of the ordinary, we’ve got two recommendations. First, head over to the Mission and grab lunch at La Taqueria (2889 Mission

St.)—the best tacos, burritos, and quesadillas north of the border. And that might be an understatement. We recommend the carnitas burrito

with guacamole. Then head across town to the Castro Theatre (www.castrotheatre.com), one of the country’s great old-time movie houses.

Get there well before the show: They still play the organ before the curtain goes up . . .

FAST FACTS Google and local start-up Feeva already offer free Wi-Fi access

in Union Square, San Francisco’s Tourist Central. After a trip to Saks and a

theater matinee, you can sit down at the Dewey Monument and log on to

PCMag.com • Sure, the Giants are at AT&T Park in San Francisco (which also

doubles as an enormous hot spot). But if you wanna watch major league

baseball at a park named for an antivirus company, take the short BART ride

to McAfee Coliseum, home of the Oakland A’s and Moneyball.
