I'm the first woman to attempt walking every street in NYC.
All 5 boroughs.
I take a picture on each block.

Back story
When I moved to NYC in 2015, I kept saying that I wanted to walk every street in every borough.
I had this image in my mind that all unwalked streets are white like a blank canvas, and whenever I walk a street I turn it a different color.
Well, here I am, 10+ years later, actually making this a reality. I've obviously kept tabs in my mind which streets I've walked so far but now I'm officially tracking from scratch.
I'm taking a picture on each block.
If you have a hot tip for a particular street or neighborhood, I'd love to hear it!
