F*ck New York

Our last movie-focused walk is also our first in our home stretch of special walks covering multiple boroughs at a time. Here we draw inspiration from the 2002 Spike Lee film "25th Hour" and the Edward Norton monologue contained within called "F*ck New York." In it, Norton's character Montgomery Brogan rails against the people and neighborhoods that make this city what it is. We'll visit as much as we can of the soliloquy, from Chelsea to Wall Street, Bensonhurst, Alphabet City and everything in between.

Neighborhoods Brighton Beach, Homecrest, Bensonhurst, Mapleton, Kensington, Windsor Terrace, South Slope, Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, Financial District, Lower Manhattan, SoHo, Alphabet City, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Midtown, Lenox Hill, Upper East Side, Carnegie Hill, Harlem, Randall's Island, Astoria, Dutch Kills, Long Island City
