NYC Stoop is a curated guide to New York — a few hundred places worth your time, chosen and described like a friend who lives there would, not a database of everything with a star rating. EXPLORE — Browse by what you feel like doing: eat, drink, see art, hear live music, walk a neighborhood. Every place has an editorial description and an insider tip — what to order, when to go, which entrance to use. EAT & DRINK — Restaurants, cafés, and bars across the city, sorted by what's near you when you're in town and by our recommendations when you're planning from home. EVENTS — Live listings — concerts, shows, games — that you can pin straight into your trip days. TRIPS — Tap + on anything that catches your eye, and NYC Stoop turns your saves into a routed day: grouped by neighborhood, with walking times and transit directions between stops — which train or bus to take, where to board, where to get off, and how far the walk is on the other end. PLAN IT! — Tell us when you're starting, your budget, and where — one tap builds a routed outing that actually fits the budget you picked. YOUR STOOP (new in 2.0) — Share photos from the places you love with friends. Up to 5 photos per post, each with its own caption and place pin — and every shared photo lands on your personal map of the city. Connect with private friend codes: your photos are visible to friends only, never public. Comment on each other's finds, or add a friend's spot straight to your plan. The built-in @NYC Stoop account is your first friend, with curated spots across the city. Plus: neighborhood maps, weather-aware suggestions, comments and photo sharing that strip location metadata for privacy, and a design that feels like a beautiful field guide, not an app full of ads. NYC Stoop is free to download and explore, with no ads — ever. Made for travelers who want one great trip, planned in minutes — and for the friends they share the city with.
