This gateway once led down to the sunken Colonial Garden, a formal garden surrounded on three sides by canals, designed by Samuel Parsons Jr. (of the Flushing horticulturalist Parsons) around the turn of the 20th century as a complement to the nearby Van Cortlandt House (located behind me in this photo), which had just been turned into a museum of 18th-century life.

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!
