Explore New York City online

A new website designed to help residents of and visitors to New York City get more from the metropolis has been launched. Nycgo.com has partnered with Google to help you plan a visit to New York, find places to stay and to eat, and find all the major tourist attractions. "This dynamic site uses Google Maps to help you plan your New York experience and find hotels, restaurants and entertainment, in addition to exclusive citywide savings and promotions," said New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg, writing on Google's official blog. Anyone who owns an iPhone or the T-Mobile G1 - otherwise known as the Google Phone - can use the Google Maps application on their device to access information from nycgo.com. The nycgo.com website was suffering from some technical problems earlier but seems to be OK now. www.nycgo.com www.google.co.uk
