For the most part, I think riding the subway in New York City is simple enough, but usually my brother tells me which train to take before I head out. There are the moments of standing beside a track wondering if I'm heading the right direction and ...

Brett's post on famous people you've come across in your travels reminded me of other traveling coincidences. It's neat to see famous people for sure, but what about the people who aren't so famous? What about the people from other parts of your life ...

In a week where Wall Street has gone haywire, and Hurricane Ike made it to the Midwestern part of the United States creating a whole bunch of mischief, this has been a week at Gadling for waxing nostalgic and feeling gushy. Scott took us on a ...

Pretty cool and quick video from Grand Central Station. Sort of a Koyaanisqatsi effect going here. But it's really cool and worth checking out. I'd love to see even more places around the city be treated with this effect. I was shooting in Grand ...

I wish I had been there. This is possibly one of the most astounding (visually at least) stunts ever pulled. No exaggeration--just watch the video. Over 200 New Yorkers recently walked into one of the busiest train stations in the world, New York's ...

I have seen my share of ugly architecture (I grew up surrounded by the best socialist realism had to offer, after all) but Penn Station in New York must still be in my Global Top 5 Architecture Nightmares. It is mind-baffling to think that they tore ...

You guys get the drill by now. Improv Everywhere has popped up in Paris this time, staging another one of their "frozen in time" pranks. The first time, they pulled it off in New York's Grand Central Station. Then they did it in London. Where next? ...

I really like photos that don't just capture the essence of a travel destination, but the act of travel itself. Taken in Grand Central Station in New York City, nabil.s' photo gives an interesting perspective on people going about their daily ...

We're fans of Improv Everywhere's work here at Gadling. There's Frozen Grand Central, Food Court Musical (my favorite) and welcoming home strangers at JFK. Here's another one designed to put a smile on the face of New Yorkers and one idea to try at ...

There's a trove of clubs that go out and explore urban ruins. And if you really think about it, there's no better place to do that than in Detroit, a city that has been in constant decay for decades (yeah yeah they always seem to have some sort of ...

For those of you fellow train lovers, here's a bit of news. The awesome London-to-Paris Chunnel train, the Eurostar, is moving next year from its home at Waterloo station to the St. Pancras station. This train is nothing to sneeze at: central London ...

A four-foot Asian black bear was shot dead after seriously injuring four tourists at a bus station in Takayama, in central Japan. The male bear had wandered near the station and attacked a group of nine tourists who were waiting to take a bus to the ...

Not since Improv Everywhere's Food Court Musical have I been so pleased by a surprise musical number in a public place. This time the setting is Central Train Station in Antwerp, Belgium and the vehicle is Julie Andrew's voice singing "Do A Deer" ...

I wanted to pick a great 4th of July shot to feature today, but then came across this amazing composition by pirano. Taken in Milano Centrale station, this photo manages to capture the hurried rush of two people running to catch their trains. But at ...
