Not to be outdone by Hillary Clinton, who took the subway Thursday morning, Bernie Sanders decided to go on a stroll in Midtown Manhattan. Accompanied by a dozen Secret Service agents and a handful of staff, Sanders surprised and delighted New Yorkers as he hoofed it Thursday evening.
On his way to tape an interview, the Vermont Senator and Brooklyn native stopped for a snack at the Brooklyn Diner. He ate a bowl of chicken soup and an English muffin, while sitting at a booth near the window with his wife Jane.
After finishing, he announced to his staff and Secret Service detail that he wanted to walk. He grabbed his jacket from his motorcade and started east along 57th street.

(39,451 posts)Yeah! That has been my once criticism of his campaign - it's one thing to have yuuuge rallies but it's another thing to look people in the eye and shake their hand while listening to their concerns.
