I have never been to New York before, but during my europe trip I had a little app that I was basically following in every city. It took me to places.... Spotted by locals
The app is free, but each city guide is an inapp purchase of around 3 euros, absolutely worth it.
While you might have the typical touristy things, the people there mention the places they like to go to. That is how I found out about this old bunker in barcelona with the most amazing view of the city or the flourescent art museum in amsterdam. Enjoy your trip!
Damn, that looks handy. I wasn't planning to carry my phone around with me because international roaming charges from Australia are nightmarish. I suppose I could always turn off the cell reception and just use wifi, though.
I always turn off data roaming etc.
This app works offline. Including map etc. For very detailed maps I used City Maps 2 Go
