For those unaware, these are ecological philosophy books about a telepathic gorilla. But for real they're great

Reply to My thoughts after walking 8.5 miles down Roosevelt Ave and Greenpoint Ave through Queens by iFlunkedChemistry

Bruh the Greenpoint bridge heading West is awful--even worse on bicycle. But you do occasionally get to see it open up to let a ship pass, which is always cool. I walk through Woodside-Jackson Heights-Corona often; walk it different times and it can look completely different. Also just going one block off the main drag can shift things dramatically. You might also like walking down Woodside ave--it's like an all-inclusive tour of SouthEast Asia (they actually just named one strip of it Little Thailand a few weeks ago)
