Damn, there goes another idea I had.
I’ve always thought walking the entire island of Manhattan would make a great little story, let alone a great series
of dispatches. Well, like so many ideas, looks like
someone has beat me to it. Inigo Thomas is writing a
really superb series of dispatches for Slate as he foots it around the greatest island in the world. His series on
Greenwich Village, where I live, told me several things I didn’t know, for example the illustrious past of the Cedar
Bar, where I’ve been a few times for apres work beers.
I’m linking to the Monday dispatch, but there are five
delightful days. Read them all.
