WEBSITE SPOTLIGHT: Hopstop.com

Eric:
We've all been there...Your friend's band is playing at that bar in the east village, but you have no idea how to find it. The movie you're doing background on is meeting on location in Inwood, but you've never been past 96th St. Check out www.hopstop.com found under or Maps & Direction heading.

I personally love this website because it continues to give me detailed directions and maps of catering locations in the city. The traveling time estimates are so accurate that I've always been on time for my events. It will even ask you for the travel day and time so that it can calculate any weekend subway changes! Hopstop.com's directions can vary from the fastest and most direct to subway & bus combinations. If you ask it to map out an address you will see cross streets and the neighborhood. Or if you just have an idea of the location and want to check out the scene you can "Point to Location on a Map." And just when you think they're done, you can even request subway directions on your mobile phone! Ain't technology grand? Happy traveling!
