I suppose he could also have to travel down 79th a bit, but Manhattan is only about 2 miles wide anyway, right? So like…worst case scenario, a four mile walk.
Okay. That would be a significant walk. Probably an hour or two. But in NYC, how likely is it that you can get to your car, travel to your destination four miles away, find parking, and then walk to your destination (1) in less than an hour, and (2) for less than $9?
Get a bike, bro. Or hey, I hear New York has this fancy new doohickey called a “subway.”
You expect this man to mingle with the poors? What if he had to talk to someone or got bumped into? Perish the thought of this man interacting with anyone below his socioeconomic status.
I have a coworker who lives less than two kilometers from work and he complained that our workplace doesn’t have enough parking spots. There is a bus stop right in front of our building and two bus routes connecting to his neighbourhood, yet he refuses to ever take the bus
I don’t live in New York. But it was my understanding that most cities with numbered streets generally adhered to 10 street numbers = one mile. 79 - 61 = 18 = 1.8 miles.
Isn’t that less than two miles away?

Well he says it’s 18 blocks so probably a straight shot up 5th. It’s a 20 minute walk and he can go through the park if he likes.

Are blocks shorter in new york? Where i live each block is a quarter mile
On average, a city block is 1/20 of a mile. But that can vary greatly depending on direction (N/S vs E/W) and location in the city.
