According to blogs newyorkology and engadget, the is urging taxi drivers around New York City to go on strike for 24 hours starting at 5 am next Monday, October 22.

What does this mean for you?
If you’re planning a trip to New York City during the strike, then we recommend that you plan to ride the subway or walk to attractions if you can. Fortunately, the weather forecast predicts that next Monday in NYC will be sunny with temperatures in the 60s and 70s, perfect for a stroll to admire the foliage and take in the sights and sounds of NYC!

Newyorkology recently blogged about the TKTS booths in Times Square. The discount ticket booth (a staple for theatre-loving tourists visiting from around the world) was to reopen after renovations last December. Like many urban construction projects, it’s fallen slightly behind schedule and now the expected date to reopen is late spring of next year. Until then, visitors can visit TKTS’ temporary ticket booth at the Marriott Marquis Hotel. Also read the and Daily News coverage of the TKTS renovations.

I love reading travel blogs, but it occurred to me that there weren’t many blogs that focus exclusively on travel destinations in the United States. Even fewer offer the type of current, practical information that travelers like you need when you plan a trip to a brand-new city.
There are some great guidebooks out, but travel blogs like this one can offer even more relevant up-to-date information. For that reason, we plan to pack this blog with travel tips, news, itineraries, and more so that you can plan the best possible trip to New York City. We hope you’ll bookmark this site and check back often for updates on new museums, tours, restaurants, and more!
