I used to do it more often but I've come to really hate my town lately. I can no longer go for a casual walk without getting angry, which kind of ruins the experience for me.
Last weekend I walked for 7 miles / 11 km in NYC and thoroughly enjoyed myself. However, I can see it getting annoying if I lived there. The "Times Square" area seems like it goes on forever. The term for such a walker, omitted from the article, is flâneur / flâneuse.
