There are a small handful of apps that I find useful for my life here in New York and if you’re visiting I’d suggest downloading them as well!
Yelp!
Hungry but don’t know what to eat? Type in ‘Dinner’ and work the heck out of the location feature. Be suspicious of dinner places that are $ and have complete faith in any place with over 500 reviews.
Google Maps
This app is essential. With just a tap you can compare how long it’ll take you to get from point A to point B walking vs. cab vs. subway.
Groundbreaking but bear with me: use the hashtags and especially location tags for navigating cool things to do. I also use it for photo inspo!
MTA
AKA the subway app. If you don’t trust the Google Map app, do like we do and get this app too.
Open Table
If you have more than 2 people or want to go somewhere specific for a meal (read: famous) this app is the best for making reservations!
Today Tix
The best way to get Broadway (and other performance) tickets at a fab discount
Huji
You’ve seen the celebrities use this app, its best for rescuing my night time and indoor photos.
Lyft
A great option for getting cross town or anywhere else that’s awkward or difficult by public transportation.
Seamless
You’re exhausted. You’ve been walking and touring all day. Its 11pm and you’re starving. Seamless yourself some dinner right to your hotel!
