I did this in Chicago: find a deal on a hotel as close as possible to to lake then walk to the stuff on the lake like the aquarium, art museum, etc. Bonus is great restaurants nearby too.

Cyberpunk science fiction sees different interfaces. One that stands out to me that makes a lot of sense is a permanently installed port that you put cartridges / chips into. Like a mini SD card reader in your head that interfaces that data to your brain. example novel
This seems like a good idea to me because nothing is permanently "installed" that will do anything. The card reader is inert until you put a card it.
