Red Maps Soho Map Giveaway !!

I am very pleased to announce this giveaway with one of my favorite maps for NYC, Red Maps !! The founder, James Leniart, has been so kind to send some maps for a giveaway. 

The Red Maps to me are the best out there .......very colorful..waterproof, no-glare matte finish, the company is based in NYC !! You can easily take one out quick, see where you are and where you need to be and be done very fast. They do not take up alot of room in your bag/purse which I also really like......

they are so easy to read and the one for NYC shows you subway stations which is so important......the one above is for Midtown area which is very detailed ( map detail is very important and these detail like no other) to find museums, shopping, theaters and hotels......

These maps are used by many famous movies and television shows as above. You can also follow their blog site HERE . The maps also come in various cities such as Vienna, Rome, Madrid, Paris, London, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami/South Beach. Check out their website HERE for purchasing. 

For our giveaway*, one of their first maps - SOHO - will be yours. We also have received (2) maps therefore we will have (2) winners for this giveaway. I want to thank Jim at Red Maps first for making them and second for supplying these great maps for a giveaway.

Map Guides to New York City

First, after just coming back from my 5 days in the city, when heat was really HOT ...I felt the need to advise on the best maps to take with you when visiting. These are my personal opinions, I see the city monthly and try to visit new areas. Maps are really important and there are so many to choose from out there. 

The Red Maps to me are the best out there .......very colorful..waterproof, no-glare matte finish, the company is based in NYC !! 

they are so easy to read and the one for NYC shows you subway stations which is so important......the one above is for Midtown area which is very detailed......

they come in NYC/Manhattan, Soho/Nolita, Midtown, Chelsea/Meatpacking, Brooklyn/Williamsburg. All you need is the one for NYC/Manhattan and whatever area you are planning to go that day and you are all set - the best thing also is there are easy to take out fast and check quickly (I hate to take forever to get the map out and find what I need) then put it back in your bag quickly! They make them for other cities/countries as well......

Red Map Guides Website

My second fave and one I read often is the Not for Tourists Guides.....they are really great little books of lots of information. I would say read this before a trip, see where things are that interest you and it will help a great deal. They also sell wallet maps and you can download a pdf of an area you wish to visit if you don't want to buy the book. But I say, buy the book...you will not be sorry!! Their website has lots of interesting information as well about what to see and do in different cities.

Maps really are very important when you travel and for them to be easy to use, quick to review and light for your bag/purse is a plus. I hope I have introduced some of you to these great choices and that they help you where you may be traveling next!
