Dayzipping Reinvents the Day Trip
Want to get away but don't have the time or money to go on an extended vacay? Then log on to Dayzipping, a new site dedicated to finding great day-long getaways from anywhere in the world. The site asks you where you're located (or where you're traveling to), and then offers up a slew of options in the area. Suggestions are sourced and reviewed by members (and membership is free) -- which means that options are well-vetted and tested. A simple search for New York, New York offered a walk through lower Manhattan, a BBQ in Brooklyn, and a slightly-out-of-the-city foray to Theodore Roosevelt's Sagamore Hill Home.
The site also allows users to connect with their friends and share reviews and suggestions within friend networks. As with any user-generated site, the suggestions are only as good as the people using the service. So as Dayzipping continues to grow, expect to see more and more options. It's a great way to rediscover your own town, or get an insider's perspective on a spot you might be visiting.

So if I want to know the hot spots in Grand Island, Nebraska can this tell me? No? I didn't think so.
"No trips were found in this area from"
I guess it's just NYC, SF, and all their ilk. Gah.

Just moved to Boston last month and me and my wife have been desperate for something like this!!! Looks pretty cool so far I just wish they had more trips.
