New Yorkers measure a walk in blocks, and so does Block by Block: every stretch between two crossings counts. Manhattan makes the pattern easy to see. Avenue Walker follows the long lines north and south, Cross Street Collector the Streets that cut across them, and Broadway draws its own diagonal from Bowling Green to Inwood.

But the map is all five boroughs, not just one. Across the East River has you walk the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg and Queensboro bridges, and every hood from the Bronx to Staten Island is waiting to be lit up. Start with Bleecker Street, or with the block outside your door.
