longestwalk is a google map thingy that will show an ordered list of the longest walks between intersections on Manhattan in New York; more information is on the about page. As it turns out, the longest walk is (or appears to be) in Midtown between 5th and 6th Avenues on 53rd St and is around 0.195557 miles long. There's a menu on the left so you can them all, but here is that one.
So, what is the point of this? Well, I was just wondering it the other day, as I walked around between never-ending avenues, then today I was in a building in Chelsea where I was told that it was on the longest avenue (which could very well be true) and that is has the largest square footage of any building in Manhattan. Anyway, so I wanted to see where they all stacked up (and it was fun to write).

The source is here.
