Mike Epstein of Satan’s Laundromat is walking all the streets of Manhattan. “The only real essential is a good map. Unfortunately, the only good map of New York, the traditional hand-drawn Hagstrom, is dead, replaced by the modern computer-generated monstrosity that puts Manhattan at an angle, straightens curves, and omits all the interesting details. But I have to have some substrate to carry my annotations of what I have and haven’t walked, and my old Hagstrom is too precious to mark up, so new Hagstrom it is. So far my list of new-Hagstrom errors is dozens long, and I’m only a quarter of the way through my walk.” – Mike Epstein, City Walker – Gothamist

Caleb Smith did the same thing, he finished on Sunday, December 19th, 2004. On Wednesday, March 30th, 2005 at 7:30, he will be giving a talk about the walk at “Makor“, a West Side branch of the 92nd Street Y, 35 West 67th Street, between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue.
