There’s been some buzz about the New York Public Library recently, ranging from press in The New York Times to our blogging friends over at The New York City Traveler.
It’s not just an incredible resource for New Yorkers, but it’s also a great spot to stop and marvel at. From special art exhibitions on John Milton to Kerouac’s draft of On the Road, there’s plenty to see. The architecture of the building itself, in a Beaux Arts style, includes white marble facing and gloriously large reading rooms.
So, the next time you’re in the city, look for the magnificent lion statues outside the library in Midtown and stop in for a visit. There’s even a special discount at the library shop, courtesy of your Explorer Pass.
Of course, New York City isn’t the only city with a great library system. To read about the Boston Public Library, check out our Boston travel blog.

I love a good library! I also find that these can be a great source for travel research. You can check out a couple of guidebooks for your destination and figure out which one is the most helpful before you buy it.
