Day 20
Tortilleria
January 19th, 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!
Why the period after flour? Where are the commas?
These are the least of their problems:

Poor guy, and his family.
Why couldn’t history class been this fun in high school. Maybe I would have paid better attention.
Thanks to all who are posting esternal links. New York is somewhere I have never been. At least I could be useful on his last walk.
Thanks Brittany O. for all your help last time for Matt as well as us hobos following him. Matt was in your neck of the woods last time and now you’re in his. Pretty neat huh? You can visit NYC without ever leaving MT. And yes, if history class were like this I may have listened more too!.
We will be visiting NYC for a quick trip to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and 9/11 site memorial. It will be our first trip to NY and fills me with a lot of trepidation. Since seeing all of Matts photos I would like to see a lot more and can see why people love the City!
