More NY: Google Transit, Shopsin's sliders, Spidey



Google Transit descends on NYC (NY Times’ City Room)

The tool — which encompasses the M.T.A.’s subways, buses and two commuter railroads, along with the PATH and New Jersey Transit commuter lines — appears far more sophisticated than existing online trip planners like Trips123, a site that was built with public financing.

NYC’s best sliders: Shopsin’s General Store (A Hamburger Today)

The entire sandwich is just about perfect: the beef-to-bun ratio is spot on and the textural distinction between the components is pronounced, but the components come together in a synergistic manner. The tangy, oozing cheese serves to bind the charred onions and adhere them and the patty to the bun, making the burger easy to eat with one hand as it stays together perfectly.

Old 42 (Forgotten NY)

The Hotel Carter, known by some as “the worst hotel in NYC,” is next door. It was constructed in 1929 and was known as the Dixie until 1976. It was a homeless shelter in the 1980s.

Spider-Man could reach Broadway in 2009 (Wired)

The U2 rockers have already completed a score for the still-formative Spider-Man musical, which might hit Broadway in 2009, according to IESB.net.

MTA may cut subway, bus service if economy tanks (NY Times)

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has begun exploring possible cuts in subway, bus and commuter rail service to shore up its budget in the face of a projected deficit next year of nearly $900 million, officials said on Monday.

BA round-trip to London for $472 including two nights hotel (British Airways)

The sale begins on September 23 and travelers have until October 2, 2008 to book their trip. For additional savings, travelers can register and book online at ba.com for $20 off each roundtrip booking.
