One more tip – PLEASE, do not stop and pull out your New York City Street map at the very top of the subway stairs to try and figure out where you are…millions of people are standing behind you with places to go. So, if for any reason you leave the wrong subway exit and are supposed to be going North, but the street numbers are going down, turn around.

When street numbers go UP (51st, 52nd, 53rd), you are going NORTH. You should also map a reverse route, as sometimes the ways to go and return are not the same (kind of like one-way streets).

Pay attention to how you exit the Subway (not just the stop to get off the train), as it is important to know which exit to use out of the station. Google maps also offers walking and biking directions. See the NYC Subway Map page for Subway information and step-by-step instructions using CityMapper. Unlike most driving cities that use a map program or GPS, in New York City, we use CityMapper, Google Maps or another Subway Planning Guide, designed for public transportation in major cities. That is why we created our very own NYC Printable Guide, covering every neighborhood, attraction and route in detail.Ī New York City Street Map is only a map – it doesn’t tell you how to get around the city. It generally takes a combination of all of these maps to navigate NYC, but here are a few shortcuts.Ĭombined New York City Street and Subway Maps are usually the most difficult to find – most maps have one or the other. There are many versions of New York City Street Maps and Subway Maps.
