In light of the current and mounting threat for staff and public safety, we have made the difficult decision to close our cafes immediately in order to support city wide efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Some challenging days are surely ahead and the financial damage to our business and staff will be tremendous, but we are committed to coming out stronger on the other side to serve you in the near future. In the interim we are asking for your help to keep the lights on and get the doors open as quickly as possible when we get the all clear.

At Plowshares we have partnered with GoGoGuest to implement a managed Wifi solution for our cafes.

At our Harlem location at 1351 Amsterdam Avenue we offer 3 hours of free WiFi with a purchase.   If you need more then 3 hours, we ask that you make a small purchase to get another 3 hours of WiFi after your initial term expires.

Our Upper West Side location is tiny by comparison with only a few tables so we offer more limited WiFi during non peak hours.    Weekday’s WiFi is available after 11:30 AM,  and you get 1 hour with your purchase.   Saturday and Sunday are our busiest days so WiFi availability begins a little later at 1PM.

Please ask for a receipt or choose email receipt if you would like use our WiFi – you will need it for the receipt code.
