I like pedestrian-friendly places (don't we all?)

I have fond memories of strolling Koenigstrasse in Stuttgart, window-shopping, people-watching, and buying meals from street vendors. IN LOndon I have been know to spend the day strolling from Covent Garden to the West End.

I found this cool site:

http://www.walkscore.com/

Walkscore not only can tell you the walkability score of any address (Mine is 26 out of 100 - low but not the worst either). It also does a mashup with Google maps to show you the shops and restaurants within walking distance .

Pretty cool. Give it a try!
