Narrative:

I inadvertently landed on the new runway 7L parallel taxiway after an in-flight distraction. ATIS did mention that there is a parallel runway 7L taxiway, but it just didn't register. Perhaps a warning like 'the new runway 7L parallel taxiway can easily be confused with the 7L runway. Be alert.' I was distracted in-flight looked back out and thought the aircraft in front of me was landing on runway 7R. I have no excuse for my action.
