A new free smartphone app will help tourists navigate New York City's restaurants, stores, attractions and more.
NYC Map is slated to be unveiled Monday by NYC and Co., the city's tourism and marketing arm. It was designed by CityMaps, a local start-up.
The app will provide access to nearly 90,000 restaurants, stores, attractions, hotels and bars. Its features include reservation bookings on OpenTable, movie ticket purchases via Fandango and information about public transportation. Users can also check in on Foursquare, send tweets and upload photos.
