Organized and well curated lists to do in the city for fellow hyperactive New Yorkers. Excellent app to get you inspired and going. What an excellent resource!

Finally a NYTimes app that's good (4 stars)
Well it's hard to believe it took them this long to finally hire sone real interaction designers and come up with a useful well done app that doesn't crash or publish weird unfinished work as their NYTimes iPad app does all the time.
The NYTimes has the worlds best writers and huge stores of knowledge and resources about NYC and this app conveniently and simply puts many of them at your fingertips.
A few things I'd like to be abl

NYTimes Scoop (4 stars)
A very good city app that gives users a comprehensive listing of places in the city. App allows for easy marking of a place of interest, allows for ease of messaging a contact with a place of interest and for many places provides a link to the New York Times article written on the place of interest so readers can get even more information on whether they might like the place.
