Bottom to Tippy Top: Length of Manhattan Walk

This is the definitive, most scenic way to walk the length of Manhattan. You can go either direction, but I recommend starting at Battery Park and walking North for two reasons: 1) it's easier to get to early in the morning, and 2) Lower Manhattan is at its best before the afternoon crowds. This route is 5 miles longer than the most direct path (straight down Broadway) - it is also 10x more enjoyable, for those who notice their surroundings. If you have never walked close to this distance in one day, consider splitting it into 2 parts. That said, the subway is there to bail or skip you forward at any point, so have fun with the Broad City Challenge!

Lower East Side to Greenpoint

Start at Elbow Bread, walk up the boutique-heavy side of the LES, cross the Williamsburg Bridge, see a mix of Greenpoint's residential and commercial streets, and end at Transmitter Park (a few blocks from the Greenpoint Ave G subway stop).

Brooklyn Heights to Red Hook

Top pick for summer showing off the best of Brooklyn's SW edge--following a mix of waterfront piers and neighborhood streets, technically ending in Carroll Gardens for return subway access. I recommend this one the most for 1) photographers and 2) those wanting to feel like they've "gotten away from New York"...without going that far. This somewhat-disconnected neighborhood is known for its breweries, distilleries, seafood, tucked-away parks, views of the Statue of Liberty, and key lime pies. The Southern edge houses several active warehouses (Amazon, Ikea, bus lots) and the Eastern side has some waste facilities and other public services that make it less pedestrian friendly - explore as you wish, but keep the turn-by-turn directions here as a reference for the best walking experience.
