3rd Party Links: Apartments and Subway Directions

Once in a while, we run into some decent sites which we make sure to include in our search results if it’s not already there. Then there are other times we run across sites that we feel are so useful that we should highlight them in a special. Therefore, we are adding some 3rd party links to our front page.

There have been a lot of searches for apartments and subway maps which lead us to our first two external links.

1) Housingmaps.com
This is a great Google Map mashup with Craigslist apartments. It’s not just for New York City, but you can specify NYC, and it will zoom into Manhattan. Sometimes it can be a little slow, but it’s worth the wait.

2) HopStop.com
HopStop is a great application where you can specify a starting and end point, and it will provide complete door-to-door directions by providing walking, subway, and bus directions. You can even specify how you want to get there (e.g., subway and walking only OR more transfers and less walking OR walking only, etc.)

Definitely take a look at these two. Keep your eyes out as we add more interesting links.
