A very ambitious one day itinerary in New York City. It is possible as I have done slight variants of this with two groups, and sent it to a third. Requires an absurd amount of walking, but what are you traveling for? Theoretically there is enough time to stay at each place for a little bit.
Estimated walking distance: ~8-9 miles
Total time: ~12-14 hours (30-60 min per place)
