Unlike the rest of the borough, Marble Hill is full of freestanding houses, some of which even have lawns!
Day 111
A Manhattan oddity
April 19th, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
is this manhattan? based on your map, it looks like it’s the bronx.
Marble Hill is a neighborhood “on the other side” of the Harlem river. It doesn’t belong to the isle of Manhattan but to the borough of Manhattan for some historical/political reasons.
