"New Yorkers were always in a rush to get everywhere, and we have so many different ways to get somewhere, but I think we overlook the power in walking,"
"There's no perfect time to do anything. If you want to commit to something, you're going to have to sacrifice something."
Benjamin Solomon, 42, began a month-long "Thru-Hike to Nowhere" on Sept. 15 with the goal to walk everywhere and use walking as his sole transportation. He prohibited cars, trains, buses, scooters, bikes, and food delivery for 30 days. He walks a daily three-hour, roughly 12-mile roundtrip between Williamsburg and his Midtown office five days a week, replacing a one-hour subway commute. The challenge forced him to skip events that required non-walkable travel, including a Rosh Hashanah dinner in Glen Rock, New Jersey, and a college reunion in Colorado. He has logged 297 miles, equivalent to Vermont's Long Trail.
