Off the Beaten (Subway) Track

I’m pleased to announce that I was invited to guest post today at the NYU Arts and Science Blog! I used the opportunity to suggest a few small museums near NYU’s Washington Square campus, and proposed a short “subway road trip” that is easy to embark upon from the NYU area.

Thanks to Evan Nisenson at the Office for University Development and Alumni Relations at the Faculty of Arts and Science for his enthusiasm for the book, and his help!

Thanks to a friend, a producer from WNYC (the NPR affiliate in New York) contacted me about doing a taped segment for Weekend Edition Saturday! I met him today on the L train, and we talked about the many cool things that there are to do in New York in August. As soon as it airs, I’ll link to the podcast. I’m pretty much jumping up and down and squealing as I type this, but I promise I was (slightly) more articulate when we rode the train with a camp group from Williamsburg. It was fun! I hope I get more opportunities like this.

Take a gander at the interview I had with Patricia Jenkins at uptake.com, a fantastic travel blog for family trips.

Also, Barnes & Noble finally has Off the Beaten (Subway) Track in its New York stores.
Very exciting.

For anyone who lives in New York City, I’m hosting a book party on Sat., Aug. 9. Email me for details if you’d like to attend.

I’m not sure what the snafu is, but it seems that Barnes & Noble is having some stock issues with Off the Beaten (Subway) Track. However, if you want a copy pronto, Amazon and Borders can satisfy your needs. Folks who live in New York can even get it off Border’s shelves! (Thanks to my friend Sara, who snapped this shot when she purchased her copy at the Columbus Circle Borders!)

I had a fantastic time at my first book signing!

Stay tuned for future events…
