As New York came to a halt with COVID, Michael Kimmelman composed an email to a group of architects, historians, writers, and friends, inviting them to take a walk. Wherever they liked, he wrote—preferably someplace meaningful to them, someplace that illuminated the city and what they loved about it. At first, the goal was distraction. At a scary moment when everything seemed uncertain, walking around New York served as a reminder of all the ways the city was still a rock, joy, and inspiration.

Writing with disarming honesty, he chronicles what he discovered, not only about his fellow countrymen, but also about the state of the nation itself as it faced its greatest challenge for generations.

Paul and Rob are at it again—this time, quite literally walking home. Taking on The Wilberforce Way, a trail running from York to Hull in honor of anti-slavery legend William Wilberforce, our intrepid (and slightly clueless) adventurers set off, blissfully unaware of the ridiculousness that awaits them. Kicking things off in York, they immediately stumble upon a famous piece of poo (yes, really), before learning some deeply unsettling facts about moles—namely, that they don’t taste great but will absolutely trip you up. Pocklington, it turns out, is home to madmen, top-secret history,...

Join Paul as he bravely (and foolishly) takes on 109 miles of the Cleveland Way, meandering through the North Yorkshire Moors in what can only be described as a poorly planned survival experiment. Kicking things off in Helmsley on the wettest day of the year, Paul assumes things can’t possibly get worse. Enter Storm Francis, stage left. Accompanied by his long-suffering (and suspiciously well-prepared) friend Rob—who carries most of the gear, does most of the cooking, and probably regrets all his life choices—they get lost, sunburned, blistered, and nearly blown off the cliffs. Good ...

Join Paul and the gang as they stumble, bumble, and occasionally get lost across the border into deepest, darkest Wales. Armed with questionable decision-making and a serious lack of map-reading skills, they take on Offa's Dyke Path, heading from South to North, and braving whatever the weather (and the sheep) throw their way. Spoiler: It's a lot of rain and a lot of sheep. The adventure kicks off in Chepstow, home to Wales' oldest castle (it’s impressive, but don’t worry, the guys will still find a way to mess it up). As they head north to Monmouth, they cross the only medieval bridge ...
