Day 1056
The Stroocks
November 20th, 2014
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!
I’m curious about the origin of the symbol in the top center panel. It looks like Mr. Spocks “live long & prosper” hand sign.
Indeed!
The position of the hands and fingers used when the priests recited the blessing – “The Lord bless you and keep you. the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you…” Leonard Nimoy supposedly introduced it to the Spock character, having seen it many times in his Jewish upbringing (Nimoy’s upbringing, not Spock’s).
