I almost reached Times Square.
Still love the album, the city and that ‘pilgrimage’.

I started in Battery Park went to Bronx continued into Westchester Country, Yonkers, and finished in Hastings in Hudson. I wanted to continue until the very end in Sleepy Hollow but I ended up getting back. I hope next time I go to New York I can do it.

It continues far past that, into Sleepy Hollow, NY. Your post makes it seem like Broadway terminates in the Bronx. Glad to see your pic of Inwood, though.

Yes the thought crossed my mind!

Hi Gary, I stayed in Brooklyn the last time I was there but I was mainly walking to and from the train station. I have much more to explore!

The stretch I like best is from 73rd Street to 97th Street. It’s quieter, with the Malls down the center, busy, but not neon-commercial.

Those last three miles were the worst. And now I know why they call so many neighborhoods “the heights” – lots of hills. Once you get past around 110th street, it’s all flat going downtown. I am thrilled that I did this but shouldn’t have done it two days before a trip to Vegas. I was still dealing with a blister and sore muscles. By the way, I felt perfectly safe! Loved the northern part which I had never seen and I was raised on 90th Street. They just redid that “stair street” on 215th. Looks much better now. Google it.
