Best Apps for Business Trip to New York City

HopStop Transit Directions for iPhone

This app is AWESOME. When you’re in NYC going from meeting to meeting, and more than half the meetings are in midtown, you MUST take the subway – taxis just take waaaay too long. Since I don’t have the “muscle memory” of New Yorkers to just know my route, I simply type in the address I am going to – the app uses the GPS on the iPhone to figure out where I am, and literally step-by-step navigates me to the nearest (correct) subway station, routing, etc. A must have!
