NYCHawk: Your block, right now

New York has an answer for almost everything. It is just buried in twelve different websites, three PDFs, and a phone tree.

NYCHawk puts it in one place, in plain English.

WHAT YOU WILL USE MOST

- Live public street cameras, so you can see the traffic instead of guessing
- Subway and bus arrivals, and the ferries
- Street sweeping and parking rules for your block, with a countdown
- Free places and things to do in Manhattan, all of it $0
- Street closures near you, and the city's collision record for your block

AND THE LONG TAIL, WHEN YOU NEED IT

Hundreds of city services written the way a person would ask for them. How to get an IDNYC. What to do about a landlord who leaves you without heat. Where to find free food, a free fridge, a legal clinic, a flu shot, a library card, a compost drop-off, a fair-fares discount, a lost package, a downed tree, or a stray dog. If the city does it, it is in here somewhere, and it is written in one screen instead of a form.

Made for New Yorkers, and for anyone visiting who wants the real city rather than the tourist version.

WHAT NYCHAWK NEVER DOES

No account. No sign-in. No ads. No analytics. It does not know who you are, because it never asks. City data comes from public feeds. What you tap stays on your phone.

Free. All of it, permanently.
