360° NYC Walk - 6 1/2 Avenue - July 2023 (Upscaled to 8K)

If you can - make sure to enable 8K playback!
Check out this short walk of the entirety of 6 1/2 avenue in 360! It's actually a little bit longer than the "official" length of it which runs from 51st to 57th street. At 51st street, we were able to walk through a food court, then two small parks, which brought us all the way to 48th street. You might even be able to see me trip over something...
From Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6%C2%BD...
In 2011, the Friends of Privately Owned Public Spaces proposed the creation of a six-block pathway from 51st to 57th Streets that would be mid-block between Sixth and Seventh Avenues to ease pedestrian traffic. The proposal called for connecting public spaces in the area, that were not known to most pedestrians, into a pedestrian corridor and naming it Holly Whyte Way. The idea was presented to the Community Board 5 Transportation Committee and the full Community Board 5, then the board sent a formal request to the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) in May 2011.
In March 2012, NYCDOT announced the plan, with a list of improvements, to construct a new pedestrian-only avenue. The Community Board 5 Transportation Committee unanimously voted in favor of a resolution to support the project as presented by NYCDOT on March 26, 2012. The $60,000 project was completed in July 2012.

This is so cool thank you

[@ashleys_sadness]

Thanks for the walk.

[@george8873]

Most fun thing about the 360 is people watching and seeing their reactions after you have passed them, lol.

[@Darrell13672]

It’s like being in a sci-fi movie I love it the walk-throughs.

[@travisweeks7819]

That was magnificent.

[@Aliyemeni]

Very nice

[@Darrell13672]

👍

[@eugenedimitrov]

Hey Gabe !That was magnificent as always ! How's it going!?

[@eliotbrown4506]

I lived on 49 off 7th when the buildings that comprise the last couple of blocks were built. I was there only long enough to see what was nearly completed. A construction site needing cleaning up. Nice to see it's all better now. Clever use of the spaces. There was a series of shortcuts that began at Vanderbilt Ave and passed through the side lobbies of several buildings between Lex and Mad-- you could get up to, I think, 47 St. I should take a look at that to see if it's still possible.
Very nice to see!

[@mademsoisellerhapsody]

Cool

[@tejida815]

😊 I hope the sweat factor wasn’t too much. 🌞

[@Michael_Scott_Howard]

[@WalkingCommuter]

Thanks! www.insta360.com/product/insta360-oners/1inch-360

[@FreedomFiveFL]

@@WalkingCommuter Thansk for that, I have an x3, probably not as good of quality, but I have a hard time exporting more than 1 clip in 360 at a time. What editor do you use to combine 360 clips?

[@frankthetank9525]

Nice work! I feel like 6 1/2 street is like a secret channel, safely hidden away in that huge metropolis! Do you have to slow your pace down at all when recording in 360? Thanks for sharing Gabe!
