If you’re like us and love reading up on culture and food from the New York Times, then you might like The Scoop — a guide to NYC that compiles your favorite writers ‘ recommendations (from critics like Sam Sifton, Pete Wells, Steven Stern and Oliver Strand) all into one app.

This app helps you find restaurants, cafes, concerts, and stores when you’re out and about in New York City and need some advice on where to go –  incredibly useful whether you’re a resident of NYC or just visiting.

And, if you’re big information addicts like us, then it’s fun to compare the reviews on the app with your own experiences.

I tried The Scoop app for myself, and overall, I liked it and will definitely use it on my next trip to NYC.  It’s not the most thorough guide, but it is handy and the selections are well curated.

The Pros? The Scoop is a well designed and well curated app that picks the cream of the crop when it comes to shopping, restaurants and events.  If you’re a New York Times reader who shares their sense of taste, then you’ll like the shops and places they recommend.
