This was one of the most fundamentally unhinged things I’ve done in a while: I walked 42 miles, 4 bridges, 5 boroughs, & 2 states in a day. It took 13 hours. Those 13 hours have become 4 minutes of time lapse perambulation.

Enjoy as Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Manhattan, 20 miles of New Jersey, and Staten Island lap over your eyeballs.
