[Music]

Hello. Good morning. This is Taylor.

Today I woke up and I decided I want to

walk the entire length of Manhattan, New

York City because why the heck not? I

got two working legs, comfy shoes, and a

concerning amount of confidence. So,

let's do it together and go see some

really, really iconic parts of New York

City along the way, shall we?

[Music]

A rarity.

[Music]

We made it. So, we are at the tippity

tippity top of Manhattan. That's Inwood

Hill Park right over there. It took me

like an an hour on the express train to

get up here. And as we were passing each

stop, I was like, I'm going to be

walking all of this. But the subway was

pretty productive. I came up with a

loose plan kind of. Let's walk and talk.

We're burning daylight. So, the plan, I

decided I want to start this journey by

just covering some serious ground

because the length of Manhattan is 13.4

mi. However, I'm not going to do it in

13.4 miles because the spots that I kind

of want to hit, you know, we're going to

do a decent amount of this and it's

actually going to be closer to 16 miles.

So,

16 miles. You wish you were only walking

16 miles today. Think again, loser. And

you know, 16 miles I'm kind of like,

well, that's a long way obviously, but

I'm just walking. No problem. No, I'm

already a pretty big walker. Like, I

walked 11,000 steps yesterday. Kind of a

lot. That's only 5 miles. Today, we're

doing 16. And we're doing like things

along the way, too. It's just not one

straight route. So, anyways, that's why

I decided, wow, this is beautiful.

That's why I decided I'm just going to

commit to doing 4 and 1/2, 5 miles

before we do anything crazy. cuz the

second I start popping into bodegas for

snacks, it's over. And I am very

prepared for my lower back and my feet

to be a bit sore by the end of the day.

But it's all good in the name of

adventure. Am I right?

All right, we'll check back in soon.

[Music]

>> First totally idiotic move of the day.

Started walking the wrong direction for

like 15 minutes. God, I'm trying to be

aware of my surroundings. And I look up

and this street is now 218th, but I

could have sworn I started at 28th. We

need these numbers to get smaller, you

see. And they're getting bigger.

Whatever. I got a little warm up and

turning back. That's crazy. I'm very

rarely like that disoriented. Never in

New York. Almost never. You know what

that experience taught me? That I needed

a coffee. First impressions though, this

area is very interesting. So like to be

very clear, this is all brand new

territory for me. I've never been up

here before.

Couldn't have done this on a better day.

Wait, should we go to the spring floor?

That actually felt good. Couldn't have

done this on a more perfect day. It's

only a high of 79 today and it's still

in the '9s. Okay, so first impressions

of my first 2 miles almost. So cool. I

just really, really love exploring the

brand new places that I've never been

within my own city, especially. I've

pretty much only heard Spanish being

spoken. So, there's definitely we're

going to walk through a lot of different

diasporas today. And that's like such a

great part about New York. I'm excited

to see it all in one day.

We got the old and the new. Still,

walking along this really nice park. It

reminds me a lot of Prospect Park in

Brooklyn where I have spent a lot of

time. One of my favorites in the city.

Didn't realize we were in San Francisco.

I did hear the rumors that there were

hills this far north of Manhattan, you

see, versus lower Manhattan where I

live. It's pretty flat, but uh we're

walking up the we're walking up a hill

as you can see. Can you tell? I think

you can tell.

All right, just passed the George

Washington Bridge, which is cool. We're

making progress, but I realize how much

further I still have to go. Cuz if you

look on a map, that bridge is like, it

still looks like it's at the tippy top,

but you know, we're feeling good. We're

complaining a lot for no reason. This is

fun. I'm having a good time.

[Music]

We're at mile 4 roughly. I went from

Broadway to Amsterdam for a change of

scenery cuz Broadway admittedly gets a

little cray cray. It's like super busy

and kind of have to navigate around

people and time is kind of the essence.

I worked backwards on my timing for this

trying to plan being at the very

southern tip right around sunset and

that's of course baking in that I'm

going to stop for food in the bathroom

and like filming and stuff but even

still I'm cutting it a little tight as I

do

when I want to see I'm just on my way

back home little drunk and alone but I

rack you even though it's Friday night

>> I just do this bag of cherries is.

>> Yeah, perfect. Thanks. All right, we are

in Harlem. We're making our way, guys. I

was getting a little peckish. Makes

sense. Didn't eat very much this

morning, so I just bought a full bag of

cherries that I'm going to pick at. It

was $4. Pretty good if you ask me. We

are, let's see, what street are we on?

146th Street. And our first stop is

about 30 blocks away on 116th Street.

It'll take about 30 minutes. So, I'm

just going to eat a bunch of cherries.

We'll see how many I eat in 30 minutes.

And also talk soon. All right, first

bathroom break of the day. First of all,

LA wishes, but yeah, I got to pay. Well,

I don't carry cash. Also, look,

not a bathroom in quotations. That makes

me think it's a bathroom. You know,

that's basically like saying, "Oh, guys,

trust me, it's not a bathroom."

And then it was a closet. Um, they got

me. Good thing it's not an emergency,

but you know, keep an eye out. I'm sure

there's a bathroom in there or whatever

that big establishment is.

We made it to our first stop. This is

Columbia University. And for those who

don't recognize these iconic buildings,

I haven't been here since I toured

Columbia. When I was in high school, I

came to the East Coast and looked at a

bunch of the schools. I did always love

this campus, and it'd be really cool to

go to college in New York City, I

imagine. Anyways, all right. All right.

All righty.

Howdy. So, I thought I would take a wee

bit of a breather and actually chitchat

with you guys for a sec cuz we've

actually made some serious ground. And

we're now in the part of Manhattan that

I'm familiar with. So, I I feel like,

you know, that's a win. We've done more

of this than I expected. So, anyways,

thought I would take this moment to go

over my goals with you guys for today's

challenge. Goal number one, I just want

to prove to myself that I can do

something totally pointless, but very

challenging. Not that I have any doubt

that I can do that. I know I can, but

I've just had an itch lately to do

something really hard. It's important to

do hard things. Might as well make a fun

adventure of it, right? Goal number two.

I want to get a little sweet treat at

some point today. I already got a sweet

treat with the cherries, but I have a

different one in mind around mile 12.

It's going to be awesome. Goal number

three. Even though this is obviously a

very active day, I also want to treat it

as an opportunity to slow down a little

bit and notice the details of this

amazing city that I call home. I also

want to walk a lot of these miles in

complete silence and just let my ideas

and thoughts come and go as they please.

So, that's goal number three. Just just

be in touch with my surroundings. Goal

number four, I want to find the single

most New York thing, New York moment

possible and capture it on camera.

Shouldn't be too hard, but honestly, a

lot of those moments happen in the

subway. And we're not taking the subway

today, so we'll see. And goal number

five, have fun. But actually, this is

supposed to be fun. I'm just It's not

that serious. Without further ado, let's

go get an iconic cup of coffee not too

far away. Also, I completely snuck onto

this campus. Not on purpose. Like, I

wasn't I mean, yes, I walked on on

purpose, but by the time I came in, I

realized you need a pass to be here. But

I'm not causing any trouble, but maybe

don't do what I did. all these like

academics and prospective students

walking past me filming myself putting

sunscreen on. It's okay. I paid my dues.

I went to college. Not this college.

So, I guess I didn't I didn't pay any

dues. All right, y'all. Just left a few

minutes ago, but we're already

approaching our next check-in point.

[Music]

Tom's restaurant. This is the Seinfeld

Diner, which is cool. I've never Well,

I'm sure I have seen it. I just didn't

realize that this is what it was. I'm

not going to eat here cuz I'm not quite

ready for a full meal. But let's get a

cup of coffee and charge the phone a

little bit.

[Music]

Fun fact about me, there are a few

things that I love more than diner

coffee. Unless it's burnt, but it's this

one's not burnt. All right, that was a

nice little pit stop. Two full cups of

diner coffee. Nice little refuel.

Arguably, I should probably get some

food in me soon. I have a spot in mind

and it's about another

30 blocks.

Also, how am I feeling at this point?

Thank you for asking. Good. You know, my

Strava is showing that I'm almost 8

miles in. I'm going to rack up the miles

today. Final guess, I would put mileage

by the end of the day, not including,

you know, waking up and getting to the

subway to get to the top. I just mean

for the adventure, I put that mileage at

about 18. Is that too high? Maybe. We'll

see. 17.8. Final answer.

I'm officially squarely in the upper

west side. I'm on the same like

latitude. Actually, a bit further down

now than the very very top of Central

Park. For those who have been to New

York, you know how big Central Park is.

So, we still got a ways to go. I'm not

even halfway done. I'm not even halfway

done here.

[Music]

You know, I've been absolutely craving

some fish food. That's not going to be

my little sweet treat. The sweet treat

comes much later. Guys, I'm getting

teased left and right by other sweet

treats. I mean, believe me, this is some

of my favorite ice cream, but I'm

holding off. I'm getting real food soon

in about

17 blocks. Excited. It's an iconic spot.

And then a sweet treat much later. Got

to hold off.

All right, guys. We are in Knox

territory. What I do love about the

Upper West Side is I think it really,

really combines the old and the new

quite well. All right, I'm not going to

lie, the two cups of coffee with not too

much food has made me a little shaky.

And nothing has weted my appetite more

than the smell of popcorn walking past

that AMC. We made it.

Iconic New York City grocery store,

deli,

and and and other things, too.

Okay guys, so I'm in the wrong place to

order a bagel with cream cheese and

locks. However, I did meet a new friend

who also has a YouTube channel. What's

your channel name?

>> Raphael Cena RP.

>> Do you talk about movies, you said?

>> Yes, I talk about movie. I publish a

book about a movie.

>> And I'm I'm writing another about

the movie.

>> Oh, no way. It's actually better than I

expected. I absolutely inhaled that. It

was a good bagel. I like to I think of

myself as a bagel connoisseur at this

point. The bread itself was freaking

delicious. And then I'm just having the

biggest New York day, so of course I had

to get it with locks and cream cheese

and it was it was just so good. Highly

recommend Z bars. Absolutely stunning

town homes here in the Upper West Side.

These remind me of kind of a combination

of the Victorian style homes in San

Francisco and then ones that you'll see

in like Kensington and London. So

beautiful. I've actually not seen too

many of these in New York, this kind of

style, but I really, really like it.

Beautiful.

Wow. Our next location. We're not going

in there, but this is the American

Museum of Natural History in Central

Park. Yeah. I just thought I'd walk by

it to show y'all, even though we

obviously do not have time to go in.

Matter of fact, I needed to hustle a

little bit if I'm being honest with you.

Um, but here, take a look at the Central

Park Towers. All right. They're still

kind of far away. Um, but we can see

them. I think I'm going a little a

little crazy cuz I'm seeing pigeons

everywhere and I'm just saying pon.

There were two of them playing and I

said do pon. I don't speak French. Wow,

that's epic. Oh, and uptown. That's

where we came from. Way up there. Wa.

[Music]

>> It's actually so crazy that Central Park

exists in the middle of like the most

vertical city. It's just such a cool

phenomenon. I'm so glad that this land

was protected and I don't come here as

often as I would like cuz I mean there's

no Oh my god. I see a Cavalere. Sorry,

but it's the first one of the day and

that's a big deal.

>> Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my

god.

>> Love your dog.

>> Okay. Sorry. Like I was saying, I should

come more. It's just like the coolest

park in the world.

[Music]

>> A New York moment. Can I capture it? Can

I capture it?

>> I got it.

That was pretty in New York.

[Music]

>> You just wouldn't believe that I'm in

the smack dab middle of New York City.

Like you could go down so many different

trailers, not see a single person. But I

come here more.

[Music]

No music,

sound of birds, and that's all I hear.

That's crazy.

[Music]

onbo bridge.

>> There is a life I lead in this city.

>> What a beautiful day we got too. Oh my

gosh.

>> I'm not too tired either cuz I'm doing

this on a weekday obviously.

Morning.

I'm going

to

[Music]

be

under.

>> That's really cute. I wanted to run

through a bubble, too, and then I

remembered I'm 27 years old. We're on

the Central Park Mall, which is this

long

walking stretched.

>> It looks fake. Couldn't have come at a

better time in the summer when all the

trees are just freaking fluffy as hell

and green. It's stunning.

[Music]

Hey, I really don't deserve a break. I

mean, I do. I've walked like 12 miles,

but we have a long ways to go. But this

is just too iconic of a spot. I couldn't

not do a quick little segment here. Let

me get a little closer. You can't see

anything from there. Let me get you. Let

me get you. I'm coming. I'm coming. I

bet I have hot hair.

Howdy. Hello again. Quick check-in

because cuz I want to. I thought I would

show you guys what I packed for today. A

little what's in my bag section. I

wanted to do backpack even though it's

not cute. I'm a backpack girl. I like to

go handsree. Water of course, which I

refilled along the way. Have some right

now while I'm thinking about it. Hat.

The goal of course was to pack light.

So, I took what I normally carry in here

out and put in the only things I needed.

Okay, I left a few things in here. I

have chapstick. I brought my phone

charger, obviously, cuz I have and will

continue to need to charge that phone

over the course of the day. That's all

I'm filming on. I brought band-aids just

in case. Although, I don't even feel the

slightest bit of a blister coming on,

which is nice. I got the information

from that guy at Zars. Pepper spray just

in case. Besides that, these are just

things I've accumulated over the day.

This is fresh Zbar's baked pa. I just

bought that. This is my bag of cherries.

You know what? Let's have a few right

now. Mhm. Mhm. My sunscreen, my spatula.

The heaviest thing I'm carrying is my

tripod, which I'm currently using.

Besides that, this is it, guys. That's

it. Anyway, quick morale check-in. I'm

feeling great. My legs like they're a

little tired, but they don't hurt, you

know? And my strava shows that I've

walked 12 miles. So, once again, a lot

of zigzags. And it's currently 5:13 p.m.

Sunset is around 8:00. Yeah, I don't

think we're tracking to be by the bottom

tip by 8, but that's okay. I'd rather

hit the cool spots and have a good time

along the way than rush for sunset and

skip cool things, you know. All right,

without further ado, let's keep going.

But I'm glad we got to sit here for a

bit. This is Sheep Meadow and it's just

the coolest view ever from any park that

I can think of, you know, urban park

that is. Okay, enough chitchat.

Next stop

[Music]

That is the billboard I was on once upon

a time. I never really talked about that

in a YouTube video. Anyways, pretty

neat.

[Music]

Like a walk in the lake of Manhattan if

I didn't walk through Time Square. No,

this is insane. Now this is slowing down

my pace.

[Music]

of this number.

I'll make you want a sunny day.

>> On 42nd Street, you will see why this

street is special to me, or at least

holds a place in my heart very shortly.

The next day you told me,

>> "Oh my gosh, some of you who are

longtime viewers might recognize my

background." This is my first apartment

in New York City. This is the first

place I lived. And I'm going to stop in

and see if my old door men are still

there and if they remember me. And I

don't know, I kind of wanted to take a

little mini walk down memory lane while

doing this. So, here we are. I never

revealed like out loud where I live, but

this is Silver Towers in Hills Kitchen,

New York City on 42nd and 11th Avenue.

Great first place to live. Here we go.

Let's see.

>> Oh, hi. I just wanted to say hi. I was

in the neighborhood. Do you remember me?

>> Oh, well, I'm good. It's good to see

you. A, that was sweet. Tomas, the Mador

man, who I was the closest with, wasn't

there, but Elise, who I also knew pretty

well, was there, and we chatted for a

few minutes. Anyways, little walk down

memory lane. We're actually walking down

memory lane for a second. Here, I'll

show you. We are walking that way

towards my old office. When I first

moved here, the building that we were

just in, all these other ones in Hudson

Yard, they weren't even built. And now

they are totally filled out and I'm not

up in this area very often. So, it's my

first or second time seeing it like

fully built. All of these really, well,

not all of them. I worked in one of

them, but you know. Okay. And then this

is the Javit Center which is just a

freaking huge center where a lot of

conventions host and all that funny.

This is where I spoke on my very first

panel as part of my YouTube career. And

that felt like a very full circle moment

for me because I used to live over there

and I spoke here but I used to work in

consulting here. So it just it felt like

a very full circle moment when I was

here again. That's my old office. It

weirdly feels like it was just

yesterday, but also a lifetime ago at

the same time that this was my walk to

work. It feels more like a lifetime ago

than just yesterday. But you might

recall baby Taylor did some vlogs right

here. And here I am 4 years after

moving.

[Music]

Crazy. All right, little update. I am in

the Hudson Yards Mall for a little bit

charging my phone. It's at 32% and we

got to make it all the way to the bottom

tip and I need like 50% for that. Also,

morale check-in. I'm sitting by the

bathroom. Feeling pretty good. I will

admit I'm starting to get just a little

bit of soreness in like these areas, but

still no acute pain.

Sent on the ground eating cherries. Feel

like a feral cat. When people walk by, I

just want to go. And we back. Farewell

office. Farewell vessel. We're taking

the high line down, baby.

And there's my friend Sherban's

apartment. See all the saunas? And then

there's a bunch of ice baths right

beyond that wall there. I'm not even

doxing him. He posts a lot of videos

from there. Anyway, I just think

I've always thought it is so cool. It's

a repurposing of like half a railroad

that used to run through here. Now

they've just built some really, really

awesome real estate. I mean, this is

crazy. This is a Zaha building. I

remember reading all about it the first

time I saw it. I actually talked about

it in a video years ago. That's a cool

example of one. But then you also have

old things, too. So, it's just a cool

combination once again of the old and

the new. I think I'm pretty drawn to

places that do both really well. It was

especially during this part of the walk

that the challenge started to feel less

like a physical feat and more like a

walk through a portal into my past.

Sounds cheesy, but it's true. The

apartment where I lived in my early days

in the city, the office where I worked

long hours in consulting, the city

streets I walked on daily. They all

represent some chapter of my life where

I had some of my biggest wins, my

biggest fails. I learned who I was and

who I wasn't. It doesn't usually hit me

quite as acutely as it did on this walk.

Just how much this city has shaped me.

Step by step, block by block, it felt

like I was stitching all those versions

of myself together. It reminded me of

how far I've come and how much further

there still is to go. And these

buildings are just pretty insane as

well. These are by the same architect

who did the vessel from Hudson Yards and

Little Island, which I was going to take

you guys to, but I don't think we'll go

there after all. All right, y'all. I'm

going to be honest with you. I was fully

prepared to go into Chelsea Market,

which is iconic. I thought I'd be ready

to eat again by now cuz the last time we

had a real piece of food was at Zars up

on 80th Street. But I'm just not that

hungry. partially number one because I

just ate like 30 more cherries on the

ground from the mall. And then B, I'm

still saving myself for that sweet

treat. Yeah, you remember that? Still

haven't got it. We're on our way. We're

really close, actually. New Yorkers, you

might be able to guess where we're

going. It's in West Village. Classic New

York spot. Little sweet treat. Little

pickme up. I'm excited. And that's a

second stomach. Okay, I know I said I

wasn't hungry. Dessert. Separate

stomach. Guys, I got to tell you,

couldn't be more thrilled with the

weather. Oh, Starbucks Reserve Roaster.

Fun fact, you know how you can get your

free birthday drink, whatever you want

from Starbucks on your birthday. Well,

if you live in a city with a Starbucks

reserve, you can also get one of those

drinks as your free birthday drink. And

those ones cost a lot. So, kind of a fun

hack. I did that last year. I wasn't

sure if it was going to work and it did.

I got a big old fancy drink.

[Music]

I've always loved this cobblestone area

and meat packing. I just think it's

really, really pleasant,

[Music]

guys. It's golden hour. We have an hour

and 3 minutes until proper sunset. We'll

see where we get

beautiful cobblestone streets in the

West Village. All right, we are nearing

our sweet treats. I'll give you a hint.

We're on Bler in the West Village. Where

could we be going?

[Music]

Did you guess it right? Did you? Did

you?

[Music]

Have you heard about the latest thing?

Everybody's

>> Okie dokie. We bit of a time crunch at

this point to make it to the bottom by

sunset, but uh I got to sit for a sec

and eat my sweet treat.

If you guys don't know, Magnolia Bakery,

banana pudding in New York City is

pretty much as classic as you can get.

And you guys might be like me where you

think, "Oh, banana pudding, like how

good can it be?" Maybe you don't even

like it. That's what I thought until I

had this. Seriously, it is just I mean,

it's ridiculously good.

Also, just like such a quaint

neighborhood. Oh my god.

All right, we'll take the rest on the

road. But sweet treat succeeded. All

right, this is Perry Street in the West

Village. It's the one with Carrie

Bradshaw's really, really nice town

home. It's on that street. This whole

entire area really is quintessentially

most cute New York City. Okay, making

our way. We're actually going to pass my

very first apartment when I interned in

the city. I don't consider that my first

real apartment cuz I only lived there

for a summer when I was interning in

finance the summer after my sophomore

year.

[Music]

I showed you guys in my fall vlog, but I

used to live right here for reference.

That's Three Lives Bookstore. That's the

Vanloo. It's on the corner. And it was a

really, really fun place to live.

Although I was too young, I think, to

live in this area. Kind of need more

disposable income to live here, but it

was very fun nonetheless.

[Music]

And then that is Stonewall which is a

major historic site for LGBTQ rights.

>> Quick pit stop. Feel like I have to come

here. I'm walking the length of

Manhattan. It's like Time Square. go all

in or we will end up wondering.

Try to create.

>> We're going a couple streets out of the

way cuz I want to go down my favorite

street in Soho where I think you get the

best view of the quintessential crown

molding high ceiling art lofts that Soho

is so famous for. I mean, here you can

already see the cobblestones and and

some of my favorite architecture. So,

and here is the shot. This is my

favorite shot to get. I just think that

these ones all in a row are so cool. And

then you get the Jenga building in the

background, too. This is a bit of an

eyesore today. It's not usually like

that, but I'm glad we walked down the

street. A little morale check-in. My

feet hurt. They do. Once again, I

wouldn't say it's like a super nagging

acute pain, but um the fatigue is

definitely hitting these puppies. You

know, I'm very thankful for them though.

They take me far and wide. They take me

fast when I want them to. I don't know.

I could get emotional if I thought about

it too hard. I'm at an age and hopefully

I will be an age for a long time where I

could just kind of do this at the snap

of my fingers when I want to and to be

physically able to do so and to have a

fiery enough spirit. Whatever. We don't

have to get into that. But I'm very

thankful for my legs today.

[Music]

Crossing Canal. Major milestone if you

ask me cuz Canal is like pretty far

south. We're getting there, guys. The

World Trade Center is looking bigger and

bigger. Not so far out of reach anymore.

No, we're not in Chicago. But they have

a beam here, too. Kind of cool, huh?

>> Wow,

I look funny.

Okay, that's enough. Wasting my battery

on silliness. had to come by. Passing

through Tribeca. This is Staple Street

Sky Bridge and it's just kind of an

iconic Tribeca landmark. All right,

we're not there yet, but this is very

rewarding. It's so close and we're

actually going a bit beyond, but it is a

very, very helpful beacon. This is a

very, very pleasant walk and there's a

nice breeze. It almost feels like a warm

fall day, but a fall day at that. We've

made it to the Oculus. It is quite the

site. It was opened to the public in

2016. Designed by Valencia, Spainborn

architect Santiago Kalatraa. And I know

it ended up being twice as expensive as

the budget allowed for. Classic. And

it's right across from ground zero.

These are the two footprints of where

the Twin Towers used to be. Roped off

after a certain hour, but it is a very,

very well done memorial. The 9/11 museum

is also very well done. Highly recommend

a visit if you want to go. And then here

is the Freedom Tower. It is so big. It

is just so big. When you look up at it,

you almost lose balance.

We are past the World Trade Center that

is behind us. We're almost there, guys.

I'm actually You'd think I'd be taking

it easy here at the end. Uh-uh. I'm

actually debating jogging cuz it's

getting dark. Not for safety. Like,

there's plenty light. There's plenty of

people out. I just want to be able to

get a good shot at the end. We just hit

the 20 mile mark.

I didn't come this late for nothing. You

actually are jogging the rest of the

way. Thank you, legs. Thank you, lungs.

Thank you, New York. Thank you all the

cool people in the city. I'm coming for

you.

Okay, I'm not going to film the whole

rest of the way, but I promise I'm doing

it.

I see it. And we're doing it.

I actually feel pretty good. I'm

jogging. There's no ground.

[Music]

Oh my god, I'm so sweaty. Jeez. That's

the Statue of Liberty, believe it or

not. And this is me at the very, very

tip now.

Wow.

[Music]

Oh my god. I don't even know what to

say. We did it. Goal number one was to

prove to myself that I could do

something totally pointless but very

challenging. Did I meet that goal? Hell

yeah, I met that goal. I actually never

questioned that I would finish. But I

think I underestimated how hard it would

be. My legs and feet held up as good as

I could have hoped. 21 miles. Oh, did I

even tell you guys I clocked in at 21

miles total. And what did I guess? 17.8.

Final answer. 17.8 and I thought 18

would be a crazy guess. I'm closer to a

marathon than a half marathon today,

which is kind of crazy. And I know some

people run that all the time. Good for

them. That is not the kind of exercise I

do. So, this was very challenging for

me, but so incredibly rewarding. Goal

number two, sweet treat. Obviously, I

hit that goal. I have the magnolia

pudding. Actually, I ate it all. Goal

number three was that even though this

was going to be an active day, I wanted

to also take it as an opportunity to

slow down, notice the details around me,

just really be in touch with my

surroundings. Did I achieve that goal? I

did. I will say though that I think it

made me realize, if I may say so, I'm

already pretty good at this. It's not

that uncommon that I'll run into a pole

or something cuz I'm just looking up and

noticing the buildings and the

architecture and all that good stuff

around me. But aside from patting myself

on the back, I think that what it did

was just like it reinforced my love for

the city and all the different kinds of

people in it and the different

neighborhoods and how they each have

such distinct personalities. It is just

remarkable and it was an absolute

pleasure to walk through. It just gave

me a very very deep reinforcement and

appreciation for New York. Goal number

four. Did I find the most New York

moment possible and capture it? Ooh, you

know, I might not have reached that

goal. What did I see?

I'm just replaying it all in my head. I

saw a lot. Say I failed this goal.

That's okay. A New York moment. Can I

capture it? Can I capture it? I got it.

That was pretty New York. Goal number

five was to have fun. I had a lot of

fun. Today is one for the books. I know

I'm going to remember this forever. I

know I'm going to refer back to it a

lot. Whenever I go somewhere in the

future that I went to today, I know I'm

going to say, "Oh, I did that on my

turtle walk." I just know I am. Turtle

walk for close friends and family.

length of Manhattan walk for all the

other schmucks. I'm just kidding.

Without further ado, thank you guys for

joining me. If you made it this far,

this video is going to be crazy to edit.

That's a lot of footage, but I hope you

had a fun time with me. I hope you got a

sense of New York and enjoyed my musings

and ramblings. Thumbs up if you enjoyed

this. It helps my channel a lot. And

subscribe for more huge New York

challenge days like this. I have a lot

in mind and I'm looking forward to doing

them soon. So, let's call an Uber home,

shall we? Turtle out.

Tempting.

I won't do it. We're feeling good. Even

though we're going up this hill. Look at

it. Look at it. It doesn't look like a

hill. Those are some nice apartments.

I will take two, please.

Oh, that's a nice stoop for filming.

Do I do it? No.

>> We continue on.
