So I just found this website which is the answer to something I have been hoping would reappear in NYC sometime soon:
Hopstop.com, which will give you travel directions in New York, Boston, and Washington using public transportation. If you live in any of these cities and you, like me, do not generally drive around from place to place, this is very useful. Hell, even if you are only visiting, it could come in handy. I just wanted to pass this on.
