Take a trip to the library
The New York Public Library sits on the site of the historic Croton Reservoir, which supplied drinking water to the city from 1842 to 1899. In its place now sits a vast reservoir of knowledge in the form of books, journals, and a trove of online data.
The New York Public Library subscribes to dozens of journals and databases, including The New York Times and the Harvard Business Review - to name a notable pair. You really have to see it to believe it. Best of all - every piece of this data is available to any of us online with a New York Public Library Card. Useful for everything from AP photos, to articles on the philanthropic sector, to prospect and grant research, the NYPL card is available to residents of the City at no charge, and non-residents for a $100 annual fee. Compared to the fees you would have to pay to get the same information from these sources individually, it's a screaming bargain.
If you live in NYC now, get a card - you can keep it even after you move. I also have a card from the Chicago Public Library.
