Not For Tourists
As is clear from the name, maps sold by this website will satisfy even savvy natives, and while all the print editions are for sale, many online maps, including New York’s five boroughs are offered free of charge.
The maps are accompanied by two types of lists: Essentials with landmarks, gas stations, emergency rooms, pharmacies, etc. and Sundries including restaurants, coffee shops, liquor and regular stores. Additional information and maps for each borough are subdivided into the following sections:
Transit, General, Sports and Arts and Entertainment.
