West Broadway

Week 51

9/11: In Memoriam

Our penultimate walk has the distinction of being the only one to touch all five boroughs. The same can be said of this week's focus: the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. This route visits memorial sites in all five boroughs - some grand and others understated. Note it is the only route to use transit during the course of the walk (the Staten Island ferry) though the walking distance of 26.2 miles is still maintained.

Neighborhoods Bushwick, Ridgewood, Fresh Pond, Maspeth, Woodside, Astoria, Randall's Island, Mott Haven, Harlem, Carnegie Hill, Upper East Side, Lenox Hill, Midtown, Flatiron, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Tribeca, Financial District, St. George, Dumbo, Brooklyn Navy Yard, South Williamsburg
