Time Out New York / Issue 606 : May 10–16, 2007
Best walks
Get stepping!
Print out information on a baker's dozen of summer walks—an option for all your different moods—plus a quick refresher on walking etiquette.
Our featured walks:
- The Zen walk: Get back to nature—without spas or drum circles.
- The stoner's walk: Blaze up and turn off Aqua Teen for a real-life trip. Wait, what’d you just say?
- The romantic walk: Yeah, it includes a sunset. (You won’t be making fun when you get lucky.)
- The night walk: It’s quiet, but not too quiet—some New York sights are best seen in the dark.
- The Queens Boulevard walk: Conquer the Avenue of Death and claim your reward: beer and a fantastic view.
- The dog walk: Take your furry confrere on a deluxe gambol that’s good for both of you.
- The other Fifth Avenue walk: There’s no Saks, and that’s what we like about this multiethnic stretch in Brooklyn.
- The Met walk: Don't let this giant art palace daunt you – hit the highlights, then let tourists descend.
Plus:
- Park avenues: Central Park offers more than half-naked Frisbee players in Sheep Meadow—witness rare birds, waterfalls and (bonus) free coffee on these five expert walking tours.
- Walk of shame: Our hot fuzz tickets slow movers, phone talkers and guy-who-stops-at-top-of-stairs.
- Submit your own walk: Cartography is fun. Show us your favorite ambles using Google Maps.
