Chill Meditative Place in San Diego (Preferably with WIFI)

May 25, 2015 12:02 AM

I want to do some computer learning/practicing/programming. I'd prefer to do so away from the distractions of home. I'd like some place with good views, minimal distractions, all in the San Diego area. A Zen garden with WIFI would be the ideal place. Starbucks is too busy, and the local library is also. Any suggestions?

Most of Balboa Park has wifi, perhaps it extends into the Japanese Friendship Garden.

I think UCSD's Geisel Library is open to anyone (i.e. I believe you don't have to have a student ID to enter, just to borrow books). There should be guest wifi, and the view from the 8th floor is one of my favorite memories of my undergrad experience. Parking is a bit of a pain, though.

I like the reading room at the downtown library, the space with all the blue furniture. I like facing the windows which have nice views, and it stays fairly quiet.
