I do urban hikes since I live in a bustling city and I have no hiking trails..... or do I????

When one looks at a map of Manhattan, you can see where I live, it's the bump on the bottom right by the Williamsburg bridge. There are trails that go along the side of Manhattan, they are working on making it a single park that goes all the way around. Right now it's mostly all the way around, but you can still walk the entire perimeter. To me, I don't like that very much, so I've not done much of it.

I do however do themed walk abouts. There's lots of plaques posted all about the city. Some are about marked historical buildings, busts, scupltures, art works, etc. They are just about on every single block if you are paying attention.

There's gargoyle sightings, caryatids, animals and other decorations to see on the facades of buildings.

There are types of shops to locate on a tour from different ethnic markets to tchotchkes and furnishings.

I've done door walks where I look at the exterior entry way and admire the different doors.

In the winter, I can walk in some places in Midtown walking through indoor"parks" that allow one to cut through the buildings some with atriums and open spaces. Tourists don't know about these little gems.
