People will often hear me say that New York is a walking city. Then they’ll generally tell me to shut up and either hail a cab, an activity that generally takes all of 10 seconds, or walk into the nearest subway. Those people will probably also have no interest in reading about author Will Self’s 26 mile walk from JFK into the center of Manhattan, which is a shame because it’s a fascinating read.
I read this too and loved it too. I love Will in general though. (Book is Dave is a good one, check it)
