I'm presently sitting at the Starbucks on Hanover Square and am about to meet my teammates for what is (aptly, I think) known as "Out of the Darkness Overnight" - http://theovernight.org.
The Starbucks is quiet, though the occasional group of tourists or passers-by will drop in for their fix. I'm the only one sitting here.
The walk will take the better part of the night to complete. My team, SOLO-S, is in second place among teams in terms of raising funds. My contribution is about $2500, which is pretty good but can't touch the above $10,000 crowd.
2000 or so are expected to walk 20 miles through Manhattan and possibly another borough. I'm guessing Brooklyn, as we start at South Street Seaport, in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Wish me luck.
