Solo Walks
Six self-guided walks built for one: each comes with a counter seat for lunch, a bench to sit and watch, the nearest public restrooms, how it works after dark, and the subway in and out.
New York is one of the best cities in the world to explore alone, but most walking guides are lists of landmarks. These are planned for one person: where eating alone feels natural, where to stop and rest, where the restrooms are, and which routes are better in daylight.
