A self guided audio tour of New York.
New York rewards walking more than almost any city on earth. The neighbourhoods shift block by block, from the quiet brownstone streets of the West Village to the roar of Midtown to the long green calm of Central Park, and every few minutes the skyline rearranges itself around you. There is nowhere else quite like it.
In the app, 100 stops in New York are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
