walk more (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 years ago

I walked around NYC almost every waking hour I was there. I wish I lived somewhere as interesting as there. I could walk forever in Manhattan and not get bored. There are only so many places to walk in Fremont, and almost nothing worth seeing.

I walked from the 1 train on 116th and Broadway, all the way around Central Park to the 6 train at Grand Central Station…plus across the Brooklyn Bridge, the Lower East Side, the West side of Central Park, the Financial District, Greenwich Village/Soho/Union Square, and all over the area around Madison Square Garden (where I was staying). Times Square and Canal Street were waaay too crowded to walk in.

This is so rare, but I think achievable. I can’t wait to find this.
