Description
Not sure where to take the first bite of the Big Apple? This guide condenses New York’s overwhelming options to 200 core highlights and hidden gems from must-see museums to the most delicious delis.
★ Why this app? ★
Listings are packed with fascinating facts, practical details and stunning images not found elsewhere. A licensed tour guide on Gray Line double-decker sightseeing buses created this independent guide 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.
Travel with us, and you’ll come to understand New York better than the locals. Already living here? Why should tourists have all the fun? Rediscover places you thought you knew and some you didn’t, and get ideas where to take friends from out of town.

Great NYC guide for a buck
I love this app. As a NYer, It's very useful for when I have friends in town...weekly. It points me to the right place, the essentials, and with amazing pics. I have lived in NYC for over 30 years and never have I agreed more with a guide. Thanks.
Awesome App!
Even though I'm a native NYer now living in another city, I use it every time I go back to visit my family in NY and play tourist again! :D I also recommend it to any of my friends visiting NY. Great App!
Best NYC app out there
Just spent 4 days in NYC and this app was a huge help, giving me ideas on sights and discounts I wouldn't have known about otherwise. The insider tips were really useful and the photos were great to preview places before spending time/money to get there.
You'll get your money's worth with this app, not usually the case in a city this expensive!!!
