15 miles...

...is the distance that Adam and I walked around NYC this past weekend.  I guess it's not all that much, but when you walk 15 miles leisurely, you're not really leaving a lot of time for much else.  We managed to squeeze in some bowling, some flea-marketing, and some eating and drinking....aaaaand we crossed a few things off our list of things to do.

Bowling Friday night turned into a wild goose chase for the bowling alley that was supposedly around Port Authority.  Turns out it's IN Port Authority. (Wild goose chase for bowling alley= 3 miles.) 

Walking the highline on Saturday led us down to the meat-packing district for lunch, from where we embarked on a trek back up half the island.  (Down the highline and back up past Midtown = 5 miles.) 

Goofy subway schedules on Sunday forced us to walk across the park to get the 4 train on the East Side up to the Bronx for lunch on Arthur Ave. (To and from the 4 trains = 7 miles.)

I was curious, so I mapped out our routes today on Google Earth.  I was putting off doing real work and got carried away.  Now I don't have much to show for studio, but at least I have this really helpful map of my weekend.

And some pictures:
