You know, I still kind of feel like a newcomer to NY in some ways. When I first arrived, I didn't know one train from the next and I hated reading maps--before I had only used them for long road trips. I mean, nothing says 'not a New Yorker' more than a pulling out one of those big subway maps. Anyway, to navigate around town I often used Hopstop. It provided multiple routes and often 360 degree views of surrounding areas near subway exits --and I like the big 'walk that way' arrow.
