Walking Tour of Manhattan

In the last two days, Mommy, Katie and I have walked just under sixteen miles throughout the various Manhattan neighborhoods. Together, we have explored (listed in no particular order):
  • Hell's Kitchen/Clinton
  • Chelsea
  • Times Square
  • the Upper West Side
  • Morningside Heights
  • Midtown West
  • Midtown East
  • Gramercy Park
  • Murray Hill
  • Greenwich Village
  • the Lower East Side
  • the West Village
  • the East Village
  • (we also went to Woodside this weekend, but that's not in Manhattan)
Two thoughts based upon our exploration:
  1. Each neighborhood has its own unique atmosphere. Surprisingly, just walking a couple of blocks completely changes the "feel" of the neighborhood.
  2. We definitely live in the busiest, most "touristy" of all the neighborhoods we have explored.
