I’m pretty sure I walked over 200 blocks today in Manhattan.  Yes: walked.200.blocks.

I am staying in Noho, on Bowery and 3rd street.  If you know Manhattan, you be the judge:

- My first meeting was at 111 Broadway, near Wall Street in the Financial District.  That is 30 blocks north/south and about 3 blocks east/west, so 33 blocks each way.   For some odd reason, despite the heat, I decided to walk to and back.  Insane.  We’re at 66 blocks.

It’s not even noon yet.

- I got back to my apt for a few calls… then I walked from Bowery and 3rd street all the way until Grand Central Station for my 1:30pm, which is 42nd street, so add 39 streets, or 105 in all now.

It’s 2:30pm.  I am checking out an apartment in the West Village at 3:30pm, so since I have some time to kill, I walk all the way from Grand Central Station to the West Village.  Add at least 40 streets north/south and about 5 streets east/west, we’re now at 150 streets.

It’s 4pm.

I get back to the apartment and take a well-deserved shower.  I take a short stroll to Astor Place for my 4:30pm meeting… we’re now at 160 streets considering the to and from.

I was going to stop by the NY Video Cocktail on Gansenvoort Street, near 9th Ave & Washington St.  That is about 20 streets to (so up to 180), and you guessed it, by now, I want to crack 200 streets… so I walked back.

Madness I tell you, madness.  Did I mention it was like 90-100 degrees?
