I&#8217;d look into the most panoramic places (the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway is a good example) and just walk them.I discovered truly amazing places, like the Harlem River Speedway or the waterfront between Sunset Park and Gravesend. Then, it became more complicated. I was obviously leaving out most of the city. I then started with the major Manhattan north to south thoroughfares, beginning with Broadway.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually I got Kevin Walsh&#8217;s wonderful Forgotten New York as a gift and starting designing walks around that. Finally, I settled on something that loosely followed Walsh&#8217;s outlines:  Designated city landmarks. I would photograph all of them, I resolved.<\/p>\n<p>That got me through all of 2009 and most of 2010. By the end of this year I was rediscovering my own borough&#8217;s incredible parks and looking at doing more Long Island walks.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how I chalk up how much I&#8217;ve walked.  I only include the walk itself. A trip to the bodega, CVS or Supercuts doesn&#8217;t get counted, nor a sortie into Manhattan or Brooklyn to see friends,  grab a movie or dinner.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it..  I will discuss not only walking but also some photography and city landmarks (the official ones), too. Hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the beginning, it was easy.
