Looking for a mapping website
 
In preparation for an upcoming trip to NYC, I would like to find a website where I can plot all of the points of interest we would like to see.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a user friendly and easily printable website?

Google Maps lets you insert push-pins to mark points of interest that you have selected.

ditto Google map.

If you have a google account, you can sign in and create your own map, with plenty of markers to choose from.

Do you mean points of interest within NYC? If so, you might want to repost with New York (state) as your tag.

If you are referring to a longer trip to or from NYC to some other destination, AAA does a good job. Get one of their TripTik's, but they are not online. For a free, online mapping web site, I like Rand McNally http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/road/rtgHome.jsp?cmty=0

Thank you! I guess I should add that I don't exactly know where I am going within the city. I was hoping to be able to type in "Empire State Building" and It would plot it on the map for me. Does anything like this exist?

Yes, google map will do that for you. It'll probably give you a few choices, and you click on the correct one.
