Most of the cities on the list are fairly small.
Boston has 5 million in the general area but the actual city is not that big.
It is also mostly flat except Beacon Hill.
Unlike the cites in TX the suburbs of Boston were never incorporated into the city.
So, as soon as you cross the Charles River you are in Cambridge or Charlestown.
Go just south you are in Dorchester.
Just west you are in Roxbury and Brookline.
If Boston had been located in TX they would have incorporated everything inside the 128/I95 beltway inch the city
Lived there for the best decade of my young adult life. Beautiful little town. Walked to work most days unless called up onsite to Brookings. Even back then Dupont Circle was a crapfest of druggies and bums.
I did it with co-workers back in the 80s. We were all new college graduates working our first job, and we were on travel in the Bay area. It was a fun time, and I loved SF back then
SF is amazing. You don’t have any idea of what you are talking about.
Why no NYC?
Zermatt is for hiking in the area. The town is small
Paris is my favorite city to walk in.
I was just in Paris. I had no issues walking around.
Bruegge, Belgium.
People love top 10 lists. Why not a story on the top 10 favorite root vegetables?
Venice and Seville, Spain should both be on the list.
There’s a cookbook called “The Feast of Santa Fe”, by Huntley Bent, that I’ve used for years, especially to make red and green sauces. New Mexican style is still my favorite type of Mexican food.
Now I have to make some red enchiladas before long.
I lived in Santa Fe in early ‘80s. I love NM green chile. I remember my friend said try the green chile. I then had to be told to order it over a burrito. I LOVED green chile omelets. I miss green chile so much.
I am sorry but walking cobblestone streets and walks (one of the things the article repeatedly mentions as a good thing) is not a joy to me.
You might try 505 brand Hatch green chile in jars, available at Walmart and many grocery stores. It has seeds in it, but the flavor is good. Don’t get the green chile sauce, though.
One of the things I miss about NM is getting a sack of green chiles in the fall and having them roasted at the grocery store. Then I’d peel and seed them and freeze them in vacuum-sealed packages.
I’ve spent most of my life in Denver (since I was 15), so most of my experience with Mexican food has been of the smothered in green chile variety. There is nothing like good pork green chile. That’s why I’ve been so disappointed elsewhere. I have yet to find good Mexican food in California, including even an award-winning restaurant in La Jolla (the ingredients were fresh and high quality, but it was bland). And I’m sorry Texas, but just serving canned chili con carne with everything is not my idea of Mexican food. I have had very good Sonoran-style Mexican food in Arizona, but it’s a very different style and dry compared to what I’m used to.
Nope, the only other place I’ve been where the food was as good or better than in Denver was Santa Fe. And it makes sense since that style of cooking developed from the fact that New Mexico grows so many chile peppers. Since we border New Mexico, and Denver is only about a five hour drive from Santa Fe, I suppose it’s natural that the New Mexican style migrated north to Colorado.
Just visited Amsterdam. It is an interesting city — BUT —Narrow streets and alleys, cobblestone sidewalks (that are hard to walk on), litter and trash everywhere. While it is walkable, you are competing with hundreds of bicycles, other people, and cars — all going in the same and opposite directions on these same narrow streets. Like I said — it was interesting.
Amen to Savannah.
It's a big help. I've always thought someone would make alot of money doing narrated video walking tours of all sorts of places using those 3d goggle thingys.
