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!
Thanks for the link, it’s beautiful inside.
OMG!!! That’s the church we went to when I was a kid!!! So much Greek-ness…so little understanding (they spoke all in Greek back then! I should have understood it, but, I didn’t). I just remember as a child, having to walk around the church 3 times around midnight the night before Greek Easter. In NY, it was usually cold…and I was ALWAYS tired!!!! :)
