elemenous says: Before traveling to major cities, I do a search in iTunes for any kind of related material that might enhance the experience. This is particularly helpful when traveling with my kids; I like to find audiobooks related to certain cities for them. Now that apps are all the rage, I alsolike to find specific ones that will make navigating an unfamiliar city a bit easier.
elemenous's picks
  1. EveryBlock
    EveryBlock This app was grown in Chicago and provides lots of useful info for a myriad of cities. Probably more for residents than travelers, it's still useful if you want to know more about neighborhoods.
  2. Free New York City
    Free New York City One word says it all: FREE!
  3. New York Subway
    New York Subway A subway map is essential to visiting NYC.
  4. NYTimes
    NYTimes One of the best news apps out there. Hope they don't start charging for content.
