Hey guys!

I just moved to New York a couple of months ago for a business opportunity. Was curious if you know any online tools/services/websites that helps you to get familiar with the Big Apple?

I did some research found websites like [url=http://www.walkscore.com]Walkscore[/url] and [url=http://newyork.placeilive.com]PlaceILive[/url].

I like the second one more since it provides a lot of information I was curious about when I moved in - bus shops near my house, bakeries, farmers markets and similar stuff. Apparently they even do some cool map stuff with various demographic metrics, safety rates or internet speed across the city's neighborhoods. I loved this predominant ethnicity map across neighborhoods of [url=http://newyork.placeilive.com/ethnicity]New York[/url]. I mean, before moving here I knew that the city is extremely diverse, but didn't imagine to what extent. :))

Anyway, please share what services you used to understand New York when you moved in? That would help me a lot!!
