The ultimate mobile city guide to Chicago. Navigate and explore like a local. “For you, not them.”
*Featured by Apple on the homepage of the iTunes App Store.
Not For Tourists (NFT) in partnership with Tuft and Co. is bringing their
award-winning series of city guide books to the iPhone and iPod Touch to help
you navigate and explore like a local. When you’re on the go, NFT Chicago uses GPS technology to help you accomplish any task instantly, including caffeine recharge at 3 a.m., fixing your flat, or those times when you just need carnitas right now. With straight-forward and sassy overviews of 77 Chicago neighborhoods--designated and described by 100% genuine article Chicagoans--NFT’s Chicago application for iPhone is incredibly fast, accurate, and informed. And unlike most travel applications, NFT doesn’t need to be online to work its magic. Whether you’re on the Red Line in rush hour, or in the middle of Grant Park during the Chicago Jazz Festival, NFT will be there for you. If you’re planning a trip to the Windy City, this is the perfect app to explore Chicago and begin planning your trip before you arrive.
Features: Unique profiles of 77 Chicago neighborhoods, from Edison Park to Pullman with everything in between; 5,428 editorialized listings in 25 categories from bike shops to art galleries to the nearest L stop, to the landmarks only locals know.
NFT Chicago for iPhone works online or offline. GPS technology helps you find the closest choices, no matter where you are in the city.
Sample listings:
Publican: “Much-buzzed Kahan joint is beer and meat lover’s Nirvana.”
Chicago Chop House: “Old-school steaks meet old school politicos and similar characters.”
Diversey River Bowl: “a.k.a. The Rock & Bowl. Kinda pricey.”
Empty Bottle: “Avant-garde jazz and indie rock. Smells like cat.”
Garrett Popcorn Shop: “The caramel-cheddar mix is their classic.”
Heart O’ Chicago Motel: “Safe, clean, cheap, no frills near Andersonville.” Kuma’s Corner: “Heavy metal bar with famous burgers and lots of ink.”
Peter Miller Gallery: “Neat! Sound installations, video, and super contemporary art.”
Urban Belly: “Incredibly good dumplings and noodle bowls. Quick turn-around BYOB.”
What the Press is Saying About NFT iPhone:
New York Times: "...the guide highlights neighborhood amenities like bicycle repair shops and community gardens."
LA Times: "The Top Picks are invaluable...the NFT guide is both snarky/fun and inviting...a welcome alternative to the $9.99 (and up) iPhone app price tags on other city guides."
ZDNet: "A good investment if you don’t want to be "That Guy" opening a huge map in the middle of Times Square."
Jaunted: "You'll be instantly comfortable navigating the app by fingertip; it's almost as if the books were designed based on the app and not the other way around."

All listings have been completely updated, including tons of cool new places for your drinking, eating, and shopping pleasure. Enjoy. Love, NFT
