A Foolish Quest: Walking Around New York City
A humorous take on an impossible task
So, you've got this brilliant idea: you're going to walk around the entire city of New York. A noble goal, to be sure. But let's be real, it's about as practical as trying to catch a cloud.
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
The City That Never Sleeps, or the Walker That Never Stops?
New York City is a sprawling metropolis, a concrete jungle teeming with life. It's a city that never sleeps, but can a human body keep up? Let's do some quick math. Assuming you can walk at a brisk pace of 3 miles per hour, and let's be generous and say New York City is only 300 square miles (it's actually much larger), that's a whopping 1,800 miles of walking!
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
A Walk in the Park... or the City?
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Even if you could somehow magically teleport from one end of the city to the other, you'd still need to navigate the maze of streets, avenues, and alleyways. And let's not forget the traffic, the crowds, and the ever-present risk of getting lost in a sea of skyscrapers.
