With his reminder for yesterday's Bit Literacy book party in New York City, Mark Hurst included a link to a very useful tool for directions, namely HoPStop.
They describe themselves as 'Your city transit guide' but since I was close enough, I got walking directions with the corresponding map. 
The service is currently available in 5 US cities. Besides New York, they are Boston, Chicago, Washington DC, San Francisco.
Besides Subway and Map Directions, they also offer Guides for each city, search for attractions, bars and clubs, beauty, hotel, restaurant, shopping either by location or by name.
I would give it a 9 for user friendliness and good design.
The service also works on mobile devices.
Get hopstopping!
