"Give a Pokemon Go tour of your city."

#PokemonGO: This is a a bit of a follow-up to the question about playing Pokemon Go in New York. Maybe we can create a reference for different world cities from people who live or have played PoGo there. I'll give a couple examples which can hopefully serve as a template, starting of course with NYC:New York City (Manhattan) is the USA's biggest and densest city center, with restaurants & bars serving millions of tourists to the wee hours of the morning. It's also among the best places in the world to play PoGo.Lure Hotspot: Bryant Park Lures (42nd street and 6th Ave) boasts 6 usually-lured pokestops and a sponsored gym. The normally white-and-green subway light has a red top here in the shape of a pokeball. Outdoor seating areas accessing some of the pokestops are available, as is the requisite Starbucks. Bryant Park itself (always worth visiting even outside of PoGo) is just across the street. Though popular in the early days of the game, Grand Army Plaza in Central Park, is fairly inactive these days, having lost out to the sheer numbers at Bryant Park.Best Walk: Midtown Manhattan Between 42nd St. and Central Park, Park Ave to 8th Ave, has an incredible density of pokestops, gyms and spawns. Times Square is an electric biome and rares like Larvitar and Mareep spawn here with some regularity. Virtually every Tier 4/Tier 5 raid in this zone will come with crowded lobbies all day with no planning necessary. Tons of real-world sights like Times Square, Broadway Theatre District, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, Central Park and Bryant Park nearby. In the heart of this Zone at 53rd and 6th, you'll find Halal Guys, and the best plate of Chicken over Rice you're liable to find in the US.Best Nests: Central Park is obviously big, and scenic, but it's a Duskull nest at the moment, so meh. The nearby American Museum of Natural History is spawning Pikachu, however. South Cove in Battery Park, in Lower Manhattan, is currently a very productive Abra nest, and if you're willing to make the trip to the Bronx botanical gardens, you can pick up some Scythers.Best shot at finding rares:Dratini: The Hudson River Waterfront walkway and Roosevelt Island are dense water biomes and are probably your best bets. If those are out of the way, all of the lakes in Central Park double as water biomes and spawn Dratini semi-regularly.Dragonite: A hilly ridge in Upper Manhattan, between Fredrick Douglass Blvd and the Riverwalk, north of 110th Street Spawns them semi-regularly. The middle parts of this zone are in Harlem, and have a somewhat higher crime rate than the rest of Manhattan so a little caution is advised.Snorlax: These are fairly rare but the northern half of Central Park is probably your best bet.Chansey: The Rockways (not just a Jay-Z song) spawns them semi-regularly, but this is pretty out of the way from Manhattan.You can complete those pesky electric and steel badges with a visit to Times Square or parts of the East side including the Lower East Side, and areas around 59th Street and 125th Street. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2iqNGbZ
