One of the tag lines connected to St. John's is "A Walker's Paradise" - courtesy of the Grand Concourse Authority. I always thought New York City was a walker's paradise. I certainly walked almost everywhere. I once walked from the Metro North train station in Riverdale to Washington Heights.
The city certainly scores high with WalkScore; my old neighborhood (and pretty much everywhere in Manhattan) scores a 100 out of 100 pts (based on amenities being close enough to walk for daily needs/errands). Our current location gets a 33 (a score that equals "car dependent").
What you don't get in NYC is this, close enough to walk to everyday.
It gives you amnesia about having to shovel.
