I have a upcoming trip to la Capital but I have to work a few days. I have a laptop with very good battery life, and I have it ready to go for remote usage. I also have a smartphone that is setup for tethering.

The idea is to be able to work outdoors somewhere sip on a beer, and monitor my work. Kind of like sitting on the beach or at a starbucks.

My question is are there any locations in Santo Domingo that have public wifi. I lots of places do but i am looking for recommendations about decently relaxing spots to do this from.

I have wifi in the hotel as a backup, and i plan to get a daily or weekly data plan from orange or claro to tether as a backup.

Are there any starbucks in a decent location where this can be done?
Can i get wifi at blue mall or acropolis?
is there any cool hangout by the university where i can accomplish this? (plaza de cultura?)

Here's a thread about that.

There are of course tons of places with Wifi not listed here. What has worked for me is basically just go to the spot you want to work from and search...you're bound to find an open connection. Honestly if you have the Orange daily plan that should be sufficient and you shouldn't have to be looking for free wifi...

Supermercado Bravo Churchill and Enriquillo have wifi. KFC Churchill seems to have it and Bluemall has wifi too.

I work out of a home office in DR but from time to time I like to take a day to relax while still staying connected. I have been known to head to Boca Chica and sit at the Boat House bar and "work". I also used to get wifi from Tres Moskateros next to segafredo in the colonial zone. I have not tried in a while as I had a 3G usb modem with claro and now tether to my iphone 4 for 3G access.
