Hi,

I have use wireless in Central Park, but I've only done that once.  I was 
sitting on the picnic tables in the Southeast corner of the park across 
from Crepeville.  The reception was good and there were, I think, 5 or 6 
networks with at least two not using WEP: Crepeville and an 'instaconnect' 
ESSID.  I think Crepeville uses instaconnect too, but there was a separate 
Crepevill ESSID.  I'd guess that the coffee shop over there has wireless 
and possibly an apartment complex.  I didn't rome any farther than that, 
though, so I don't how far coverage extends.

Of course, if you have a potato chip can antena, you may get very good 
range ;).

Mike
