Tourist Trap


Nothing says tourist more than the fold-out map — and nothing is worse than looking like a tourist. So, If you're new to Harlem or have a hankering to check out Uptown, there's a new way to navigate the neighborhood while keeping your self-respect.

City Walks: New York is a palm-sized deck of cards offering 50 mini-tours to key spots throughout the city. Each card picks a place — Harlem, Central Park, Ground Zero — and shows a tiny map of it on one side, while the flip side explains how to get there and what to look for once you've arrived. Also included are less touristy spots such as Queens, the Bronx and DUMBO.

It does not, however, instruct you on how to dress when you come to Harlem (avoid anything resembling picture above), but for just $15-dollars you'll have money leftover for a new shirt.
