Updating that app to help find best places in Big Apple
The updated NYCWay, from the MyCityWay collection of Apple apps, has just been released. The updated app lets you peruse lists from locals and visitors on the best places, and there's a new Quick Guide with insider tips to the city which includes a "Know Before You Go" section on the best times to visit and how to budget for trips. Created in 2009, MyCityWay apps (which includes Boston) are free and downloadable to iPhone, Android and Blackberry devices. They list places to eat, subway maps, lists created by locals and visitors, traffic camera views, attractions and itineraries. The apps list keeps growing, and now includes more than 40 urban markets across the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Check it out at http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/
