Day 652
Preserved Fish!
October 12th, 2013
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!
Just today reading “The Astor Orphan” p.82 -Preserved Fish!
An Englishman, he survived a shipwreck as a boy and was pulled from the Atlantic ocean- thus the name.
Settled in NY with many descendents including Hamilton Fish I,II,& III.
Finally got to see Mr. Fish’s tomb, before we learned about him only through the bars of the cemetery fence .. http://imjustwalkin.com/2012/04/06/new-york-city-marble-cemetery/
