New York is, above all, a walker's city. Along its busy streets, an endless variety of sights unfolds everywhere you go, and the character of its neighborhoods changes every few blocks. Quaint town houses stand shoulder to shoulder with sleek glass towers, gleaming gourmet supermarkets sit around the corner from dusty thrift shops, and chic bistros inhabit the storefronts of soot-smudged warehouses. Many visitors, beguiled into walking a little farther, then a little farther still, often have stumbled upon their trip's most memorable moments.
