Developer’s description: Not For Tourists (NFT), in partnership with Tuft and Co., is bringing its award-winning series of city guide books to the iPhone.

The first stop is Manhattan, where NFT will put the most exciting island on the planet in the comfort of your own pocket. With beautiful custom maps and thousands of essential listings for New York City, NFT will help you accomplish any task in just a few seconds including: caffeinate yourself, buy paint at 3 a.m., fix your bike, mail a late birthday card, chill out in a community garden, buy arugula from the nearest farmers market, or find a hotel by the hour (seriously, it’s that comprehensive). And it’s incredibly fast. Unlike most travel apps, NFT doesn’t need to be online to work its magic. Whether you’re on the subway at rush hour or in the middle of Central Park on a lazy Sunday, NFT will be there for you. It features 30 Manhattan Neighborhoods, 7,000 editorialized listings, and 27 categories.

Pros: Works offline and online. Offers current and detailed information on stuff only locals would know. You won’t look like a tourist with a big fat guidebook.

Cons: Costs $4.99 while many tourist guides are free.
