New Map Helps You Avoid Photog Tourists

By Miron Properties | Published on June 8,2010 at 9:28PM

Tourists are shown in red, locals in blue, and yellow is unknown.

Forget separate walking lanes for tourists and New Yorkers. A new map engineered by neo-cartographer Eric Fischer can help you avoid those sightseer hot spots altogether, Gothamist reports.

The most touristy locations in the city have been confirmed as Midtown, the Brooklyn Bridge, the baseball stadiums, and the Statue of Liberty.

And to further cement the coolness of his Tourist v. Local map, Fischer not only identified which areas of the city are most congested with camera-happy out-of-towners, but also who is photographing what. After all, New Yorkers enjoy taking pictures too-- only we can walk and snap at the same time.

From Miron Testimonials

"My wife and I came flew into the city for the wknd to find an apt over a three day stretch. We had been monitoring the apt market on craigslist, etc and started to notice the repetition of photos (often not the apt you end up seeing) which makes things seem sketchy. If you don''t live in the city yet, than you''ll just have to go with your gut on who to work with by the vibe you get on the phone or email. We had a good few weeks worth of phone calls with Ben (Ben Getman), who at the time was working indepently as a no fee broker and now with Miron Properties (as we just learned). There are many reasons he was great, most importantly is that he listened to our "must haves" and created an organanized list of scheduled apt''s to view on one of the three days there. Also, his demenor was very professional yet laid back (which is verrrry hard to come by). After about a 3-4 hrs of looking, we sat down and had a beer with him and to talk about how well each of the apt''s matcged our wants/needs. We signed that afternoon after walking around the neighborhood (86th b/w 3rd and 2nd area). Below is what we asked of him and he delivered. Devote your time to him and it pays off! : ) Good luck with your hunting!"
