even the birds are moving into glassy new condos.
Day 89
Out here in Williamsburg
March 28th, 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!

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!
Awesome! My cousins live right up the block from this building. We pass by the glass bird houses often on our way to Frost Restaurant (a great Italian place with a real NY Italian clientele. You can see what the neighborhood used to look like by dining at that restaurant…). Of course, we would still consider this to be Greenpoint. It seems as though Williamsburg has expanded in the past decade or so as people want to associate that hippy neighborhood with their real estate listings :-)
What exactly are we looking at here? There’s a keypad for entry — but into what?
