Day 494

Häagen-Dazs

May 7th, 2013

The name is supposed to sound vaguely Danish, and the cartons once featured a map of southern Scandinavia, but this ice cream company was born right here in da Bronx, and "Häagen-Dazs" is just a bunch of jibberish that means as little in any Nordic language as it does in English. In fact, the umlaut and the digraph "zs" do not even exist in Danish!

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!
