Walking Every Street in Manhattan

In October 2013 I had an idea (it turned out not to be an original idea, but hey, what are you gonna do?). I thought it would be fun to walk every street on the island of Manhattan and take some pictures along the way. A quick Google consultation tells me that this is a 508 mile proposition, which actually doesn't seem that daunting. Here it goes.
