New YorkSoHo

What should I do around SoHo tonight?
I found three strong options nearby: a rooftop with skyline views, a late-night food pocket, and a quieter gallery block after 9pm.
Show me something iconic, but not too obvious.
Start near the rooftop, then move to a quieter food corner, then end on a side-street gallery route. It feels recognizably New York without defaulting to the obvious tourist pattern.
Ask for routes, plans, food, events, or nearby experiences...

Platform model

One system, multiple layers of leverage

Stops combines consumer utility, brand infrastructure, developer APIs, and spatial interaction into a unified platform narrative.

Multi-surface platform

Built across web, mobile, wearable, and spatial devices

Stops is not limited to a browser experience. The platform is designed for web, iOS, Android, Apple Watch, and selected AR devices in private beta.

Web

Discovery, product storytelling, and live web access through the Stops panel.

iOS

Mobile creation, discovery, route interaction, and social participation.

Android

Full mobile access to stops, collections, geo-chat, and geo-AI.

Apple Watch

Glanceable nearby context, route nudges, and lightweight wearable touchpoints.

AR devices

Private beta on HoloLens, ThinkReality A3, and selected spatial hardware.

Core primitives

The domain model behind the platform

The strongest version of Stops is not just a map app, but a structured platform made of reusable geo-social primitives.

Stops

Geo locations with metadata: media, brands, text, hashtags, mentions, AR, comments, coordinates, altitude, and privacy states.

Collections

Travel itineraries and grouped stops, either plain or routed, private or public.

Cubes

Geo-chats that can be private, shared, or public, always anchored when public.

Commercial layer

Monetization built into the ecosystem

Stops should create value for users, brands, and the platform through contextual commercial surfaces, not clumsy ad logic.

Coupons, geo-targeted offers, branded stops, ad surfaces, map filters, and future AR activations all belong to the same value system. They should feel native to discovery, not pasted on top of it.
