Distances seem like nothing because there's always something to see. Living in Chicago, we walk fast too, so we pretty much blend in with the flow in Manhattan. Once, my brother was visiting us from small town Mississippi. He said of our walking that if he walked that fast back home, he'd get arrested.Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-65184003062816245752011-06-30T10:47:49.957-04:002011-06-30T10:47:49.957-04:00Your Washington Square example reminded me of a st...Your Washington Square example reminded me of a story: I'm a Bostonian who went to RPI up in Troy for computer science. On a trip down to the City, I had to explain the "Manhattan Distance" concept us software engineers study to my long-time New Yorker friends. <br /><br />The Manhattan Distance being the fact that if you need to travel along streets and avenues, it is no better to walk "diagonally" than in one straight line than another. In practice, you go with whatever light is in your favor when you get to the next intersection. A shortcut across a park then, becomes a wonderful change!Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044451272825931126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-20772469015763301802011-06-28T21:57:01.293-04:002011-06-28T21:57:01.293-04:00You remind me of the famous radio station at 6pm &...You remind me of the famous radio station at 6pm "first let's do the numbers!" ...<br />While walking to work in Paris (quite a long time ago) each one of us pedestrians knew who was late and who was early... by who we were seing and who we were not... Is it the case for you??Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354559064351144704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-55837666990242723942011-06-28T17:55:28.307-04:002011-06-28T17:55:28.307-04:00Leslie - a true New Yorker!

Do I take the fastest path, the one filled with more trees/gardens, perhaps the one that takes me past the hippest cafes, restaurants, clothing shops, galleries? Or do I choose the one with the least amount of people/car traffic so that I will not be bombarded by so much frenetic energy? Planning daily travel strategy, allowing for spontaneous alternatives, and discovering new delights along the way are what keep me a grateful and dedicated citizen of New York City.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769298443717603329noreply@blogger.com
