Why this app?
A licensed tour guide who works on double-decker sightseeing buses wrote this original app from scratch. Our expert is also a travel writer and photographer born in Manhattan who understands the city from an insider’s and outsider’s perspective.
These 150 listings are packed with fascinating facts, practical info and beautiful photos to get you in the know before you go. Travel with us, and you’ll come to understand New York better than most locals. Already a New Yorker? Why should tourists have all the fun? Discover the history of places you thought you knew, and get ideas on where to take friends visiting from out of town.
NYC was America’s #1 tourist destination in 2009. The possibilities here are endless, but this is not a comprehensive guide to everything. This is an essential guide to sightseeing – not hotels, nightlife or events. Restaurants and bars are only included if historic or unique to New York. Don’t worry, you won’t go hungry with 35 classics to get you started.
This app is designed to be your travel buddy, saving you time and money in an expensive city. We include important details pricier guides leave out, and reward you with special discounts of our own. Stay tuned for more perks and summer essentials – beaches, islands, amusement parks, biking, beer gardens and more in the next update!
