...a dip in the ocean at Brighton Beach!
Day 1
And to cap off the first day…
January 1st, 2012
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!

~9,954 miles walked
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!
Day One and in the water…you have an amazing constitution my friend to swim in January! Loving your work of documenting NYC with your creative eye and humor. Happy Travels…
ahh a polar bear club tradition. Shot of Vodka, afterwards?
brrrr
I agree Saun, brrrrr…….
The ceremonial dip…….Cheers to you and your NYC adventure!
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields…..
Rebecca St. James…I love that song!!
That was a great collection of Day 1 pictures. Looking forward to the rest. Have a great adventure Matt!
Piece of cake…in Minnesota they cut through the ice and take the plunge…if they wait too long it re-freezes…so it needs to be “right in” after the hole is cut…but Brighton Beach is cold enough…hope you put on some clothes before you continued your walk!!!…
You be pushin my leg surely.
Burrrrr!
