New York video city walk

Manhattan at street level is mostly a question of what is directly overhead. The avenues run long and straight and the buildings on either side decide how much sky you get, which is why the same twenty-block walk feels open in one stretch and like a corridor in the next. Everything else is traffic, scaffolding, steam and people walking faster than the light allows. These walks stay down among that rather than above it, which is the only place the city is actually loud.

Common questions

Which part of New York do the walks cover?

Manhattan, on the avenues and cross streets where the pedestrian traffic is heaviest. The route stays on foot the whole way: no subway, no cuts, no aerial shots.

Can I switch to another city without losing the walk?

Yes. Choosing a different city swaps the footage in place, with no loading screen and no interruption, and the browser back button returns you exactly where you were.
