NEWYORK - A new Web site and visitor center partnered by Google and Travelocity will help tourists and residents find New York City's best shows and hottest restaurants.
The new $1.8 million visitor center, a few blocks north of Times Square, replaces one that closed in July. Wall-mounted information kiosks available in nine languages will offer transportation tips and services. The center will also sell MetroCards and tickets to top attractions.
City officials also introduced a new Web site, www.NYCgo.com, that will feature a comprehensive calendar of the city's cultural events. The Web site will allow visitors to create personal profiles and review venues and events. They will be able to use Travelocity to book hotels, flights and car rentals.
Both the visitor center and the Web site will offer Google Maps for trip planning. At the center, interactive tables will allow users to plan a custom tour.
