If your favorite way to get to know a city is to walk all day, save the hours of research and get walking.

Brooklyn, NY, US
No one believes me when I tell them one of the best waterfront stretches is in LIC...but you'll get it when you walk it. Highly recommend this route around sunset to catch the city glowing orange. You'll see almost-continuous skyline views with a sprinkle of industrial cityscapes from Williamsburg's Domino Park to Greenpoint to LIC.

New York, NY, US
This is the definitive, most scenic way to walk the length of Manhattan. You can go either direction, but I recommend starting at Battery Park and walking North for two reasons: 1) it's easier to get to early in the morning, and 2) Lower Manhattan is at its best before the afternoon crowds. This route is 5 miles longer than the most direct path (straight down Broadway) - it is also 10x more enjoyable, for those who notice their surroundings. If you have never walked close to this distance in one day, consider splitting it into 2 parts. That said, the subway is there to bail or skip you forward at any point, so have fun with the Broad City Challenge!

New York, NY, US
Start at Elbow Bread, walk up the boutique-heavy side of the LES, cross the Williamsburg Bridge, see a mix of Greenpoint's residential and commercial streets, and end at Transmitter Park (a few blocks from the Greenpoint Ave G subway stop).
