You've booked the flights. You've got a week in New York City.

But now comes the part nobody talks about — the hours spent buried in Reddit threads, TripAdvisor lists, and YouTube vlogs just trying to figure out where to actually go.

What's worth the queue. What's overrated. Where locals actually eat. Which borough has the best views. What you'll regret missing.

We did that research for you.

This is a ready-to-use Google Maps guide with 250+ hand-picked places across all five boroughs — landmarks, hidden gems, food spots, shopping, parks, and more — already pinned, already organised, and ready to open directly on your phone the moment you land.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

250+ Curated NYC Locations Across Every Borough

🗽 Iconic Landmarks Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Rockefeller Center, One World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty viewpoint, and more — the must-sees, with the lesser-known alternatives pinned right alongside them.

🍕 Food & Drink Joe's Pizza, Russ & Daughters, Vanessa's Dumplings, Smorgasburg, hidden speakeasies, rooftop bars, halal carts, Chinatown favourites, and the outer borough food spots most tourists never find.

💎 Hidden Gems Roosevelt Island, Gantry Plaza State Park, Pebble Beach in DUMBO, Little Island, Domino Park, and dozens of spots that don't show up in the standard tourist guides — but that locals go back to again and again.

🛍️ Shopping Williamsburg vintage markets, Chelsea Market, Canal Street, independent bookshops, neighbourhood boutiques — beyond Fifth Avenue and Times Square.

🌳 Parks & Scenic Views Central Park, Prospect Park, the High Line, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and waterfront spots across all five boroughs with some of the best skyline views in the city — most of them completely free.

🎭 Culture & Museums The Met, MoMA, the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum, MoMA PS1, the 9/11 Memorial, and more — with notes on free admission hours where they apply.

Plus hidden neighbourhood gems, street art spots, historic districts, and local favourites that most visitors walk straight past.

The value isn't the information alone — it's 250+ places vetted, pinned, and organised so you don't have to spend your evenings before the trip doing it yourself. That's what 40,000 travelers paid $5 for.
