We have collocation at 111 8th Equinix and 165 Halsey Street Newark NJ in one of the new MMRs. We much prefer Halsey 
due to the fact they do not charge MRCs for cross-connects. We pick up De-Cix/NYIIX from there plus a bunch of other 
providers, the building is overall pretty carrier dense. When looking into 165 Halsey you will probably want to do some 
homework and make sure the carriers you are using have redundant paths to the rest of their network from Halsey as some 
are just a stub of the NY POPs.
