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 NY Times and Daily News coverage of the TKTS renovations.

Last week the NY Times reported that more tourists are getting in on the podcast craze and using their iPods as a virtual tour guide in a new city. What do you think of this new phenomenon? Does listening to an MP3 player really enhance your travel experience? Or do you lose some of the flavor of the place you’re visiting by zoning out on an iPod? Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

Welcome to the Explorer Pass Blog!

October 1st, 2007 by susan j

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!
