Eric,
There are "public" subscritption services that allow Internet access. I
use one here in Louisville, KY called Digital Information Systems of
Kentucky (DISK). I call a local number from my home. Not being from
NYC, I can't tell you where to locate a similar service there but I'm
sure there would be some in an area that size. Maybe someone from NYC
can give you a local service's number.
Hope this helps.
Phil
