Where Do You Log In? What's Your Favorite Wi-Fi Spot?

Now that BART is on strike again and with the roads a mess and ferries filled, we want to know the best Wi-Fi spots in town for those lucky souls who don't have to be at the office but don't want to work from home.

It’s official!  Unfortunately, the BART strike will continue into Monday and affect the morning commute.   You might consider riding your bicycle across the bay like this guy or you might consider telecommuting.

But, just because you don’t have to show up in the office doesn’t mean you want to work from home.  We asked our Facebook followers to tell us the best places to work when all you really need is a reliable Wi-Fi connection.

Here’s what we learned.
