Google maps launched a personalized mapping service, My Favorite Places, yesterday. My Favorite Places lets users select from famous celebrities and trend setters - such as Moby, Masaharu Morimoto, the homie Coltrane Curtis, Tony Hawk and yours truly “Hawaii” Mike - and see what sort of favorite restaurants, cafés, shops and other things that they let you in on. There are 14 different cities highlighted and some participants were asked for the favorite global destinations.

I was asked to let users know the best shops for kicks in NYC, check my map and everyone elses here.
