Seattle Bites the Dust, On to New York City!

New York City is, without a doubt, my favorite city, and the web content alone makes it perfect for a Virtual Traveler Hotspot. Will my next guide in the Virtual Traveler Series be New York City? To be honest, I can't leave Cornwall yet, because I still have a few more adventures to add to my Virtual Traveler's Weekend in Cornwall. The content for web surfers in Cornwall has been incredible, far beyond my expectations, and I wonder if I'll ever find a better travel site for Virtual Travelers--the people who travel with their computers, tv sets, and their hometown libaries. But New York City, unlike Seattle, is full of web content. Let's go!

I've visited New York City several times solo, and that's the way to do it, because you can indulge your pet passions without having to placate your companion's interests or worry that he or she is getting bored.


I guess I can be accused of having written that Seattle is a literary mecca. For the West Coast only, mind you. No city on earth can beat New York City in the literary department. Yes, when I visit The City, as it's called here in the Adirondacks, I scour The Village Voice for literary events and author readings, I visit the New York Public Library, and of course the Barnes and Noble on the West Side, not to mention all the used book stores I encounter. The author lectures alone keep me on the subway, hopping from one bookstore to the next. C'est incroyable!

I frequent wine bars, my after 5pm spot, where I can explore several unusual glasses of the vine while jotting down my impressions of the day in my notebook. What could be better? Stay tuned next time for a tour of New York City Wine Bars.
