It's funny because back home in Texas I'd drive that distance (in miles) regularly to do stuff with friends and think nothing of it. Take a taxi from Harlem to the Botanical Gardens when there's no traffic (so never, or at 3-4am), you'll be surprised how fast you get there. It's crazy how much longer the same distance feels when you can't just drive straight there with little to medium traffic!
