I know Manhattan is very walkable, but I have a scenario in mind. I'm flying in Thursday to NYC for an interview Friday. I get at LaGuardia at 4pm. My hotel is in midtown. Assuming it takes an hour to get to my hotel and checked in, I want to do one thing in my short stay, and that's to see the One World Trade Center.
I'd much rather walk than take a taxi/subway. However, it being in the financial district, it's a bit away. Gmaps says walking it's 3.9 miles 1 hr 19 minutes. By the time I got there at 6 it would be dark. Would this trip be worth it? Is it sketchy at all going from the financial district to midtown at dark?
Why don't you just take the subway there, see the building, walk around a bit to satisfy your urge to walk, then take the subway back?
Do you by any chance collect Pokemon cards?
LOL
Even if were dark, you're in the city... there are fluorescent lights everywhere. As long as you're not going down some sketchy side alley in East Village holding a tourist map (or loitering around in Central Park at night), you'll be fine.
Clearly you haven't been to the East Village since 1975. Or you think the projects on Ave D comprise the "East Village."
I've had plenty of 3AM drunk walks through Central Park and have yet to run into/witness any trouble. Except the joggers. Wtf kind of person works out at 3AM on the weekend?
Agree with the 3AM walks. Not drunk and not through Central Park though.
It's walkable but gross. The streets are littered with trash, urine, vomit, and manure. Contrast this to the beauty and cleanliness of Chicago's streets.
Oh, piss off.
Do you live/hang out exclusively in a men's bathroom at Penn Station? That would the be the only plausible explanation for your idiotic NYC comments.
Financial district near Wall Street, Chinatown, parts of the Lower East, all get pretty grungy. Nothing in comparison to some places in Lat am, Southeast Asia, or Africa though.
Is it the 1800s? Unless you're in Central Park the only manure you're gonna find is dog shit.
I was wondering that also...I don't think I've come across manure. Perhaps it's falling out of the pockets of his blue jean overalls as he journeys by horse buggy from the cornfields of Chi Town.
troll, you're just asking for monkey shit
NYC blocks are a little different than other city blocks. Personally, I'd just take a taxi. You can take a subway and it should be relatively easy, but if this is your first time in the city you might be a little intimidated. Cab will probably cost you $20 bucks and you can just look out the window. Depending on where you are Midtown you are talking like 20-30 blocks to the trade center. You really don't want to hoof it that far as soon as you get in.
Can't tell if you are being facetious?
Check it out on wiki. NYC city blocks are roughly 264 x 900 feet. Houston is 330 x 330.
