Explore New York With Google

Google has posted that it has partnered with New York City to set up a website and an information center for visitors and locals alike. Both are intended to make it easier for everyone to explore the Big Apple, providing directions to notable locations and popular spots. The announcement was made by none other than the mayor himself.

New York City Mayor Bloomberg just announced on the Official Google Blog that the city has partnered with Google to create www.nycgo.com and a brand new Official NYC Information Center, located at 810 7th Avenue. On the mobile team, we're particularly excited by how New York City is helping visitors navigate the city by integrating Google Maps for mobile into the experience.

So it's Google Maps, Google Maps for mobile and Street View that are featured prominently here, though I'm pretty sure that Google is ready to throw in whatever else it can to make the project successful. I wonder if other cities are next.
