Internet Cafe Plus

This weekend’s activities had the potential to be pricey, but I found a sweet promo code online that shaved about $ 20 off of a pair of «Total Experience» tickets to the Bronx Zoo.
In having purchased my tickets online (couldn’t get our discount any other way) we needed to print them out because apparently the Wildlife Conversation Society does not support mobile ticketing nor do they want to conserve trees by switching over and joining the 20^th century…
Enter «Internet Café Plus». My boyfriend and I were already running a bit late on schedule and not looking forward to having to waste time looking for a place to print, but the location of this place was largely convenient and put no dent in our schedule since it’s right up the block from the boy’s apartment and from the train we needed to grab.
This place is a modge podge of combined businesses… they’re an internet café /​insurance broker /​tax preparation service /​fax /​scan /​photo copies /​«you name it they probably do it» kind of place… Upon entering I asked a man and woman who worked there where I could print.
There was 1 lonely computer in the corner that was already logged in and ready for use so I hopped on it. They offered no assistance, but that’s cool — my ability to open a browser, hop onto my personal gmail, open an email, click «view and print tickets», print and then delete my personal history train on Chrome without deleting the entire cache and just my part skills are freakin’ spot on. I’m a whiz at this.
Once I printed my two tickets I was charged $ 2. Sooooooo… approximately $ 2 a page… that’s pretty ridiculous considering that there’s absolutely nothing special about their paper or service.
I’m still grateful that they’re here and will probably use them again when in Astoria and in need of printing something out. 3 stars for being A-​Okay.
