What better time to look at the best New York iPhone apps than when there are actual cash prizes involved?
With the announcement this week of an “MTA App Quest” — with $15,000 in prizes for anyone who creates the best apps using city data — The Post rounded up 9 essential Big Apple downloads to improve your busy Manhattan life.
Editors Rob LeFebvre of 148apps.com, Marianne Schultz of appshopper.com and Rene Ritchie of tipb.com (short for “The iPhone Blog”) picked through the old standbys and the newest and best downloads for New Yorkers, whether you need to maneuver around the subways like a pro, hail a cab or get the best slice in town.
Happy downloading!
