Haven’t you always wanted to visit New York City? I mean, who wouldn’t? There’s so much to do, what with the museums, Broadway shows, and nightlife, you’d almost be crazy not to go. So you’ve gone out and bought all your guidebooks, packed all your city friendly outfits, and bought your plane tickets. But you know what could really put a damper on your vaykay? Not knowing how to get around the city. To look, and feel, like a true New Yorker, you should take the subway. But the worst thing you can do is look like a fumbling tourist in the city that never sleeps. So unless you’re Rand McNally, how are you supposed to get around without revealing your lack of directional expertise?
With the Credit Card Subway Maps (Firebox, $12.95), you can find your way around the city’s subway grid without looking like a total noob. This ingenious little card is small enough to fit in your wallet, yet it embodies all the information you need to navigate your way around NYC’s underground transportation system. So you can basically take this little card out of your wallet to get your bearings, totally unnoticed by the hustle and bustle of New York’s commuter crowd, and catch the appropriate subway line. It’s made of stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about it deteriorating in your wallet as time goes on. The ultra durable consistency also comes in handy if you’re trying to get home after a long night of boozing and your coordination isn’t up to par. Your favorite map might just end up in a pool of leftover booze and frightening unknown liquids on the barroom floor or in the gutter outside the bar, surrounded by cigarette butts and discarded gum. Now aren’t you glad that your navigation system is water-friendly?
4 out of 5 stars.
