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.

1. I loved this part:

"Sanders is known for these impromptu strolls. He takes one in almost every city he visits."

5. New York is a lot of fun to walk in

I hope that he gets to continue the walking without too much of a crimp in his style.

11. I don't! I personally hope he is trapped in a secret service zone

For the next 8 years. No offense, Bernie! 😊

2. I think that's great!

He is truly a man of the people.

More power to you, Bernie and Jane!

Love it!

12. He just said that he is going to be doing more of that.

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.

17. When he was in LA,

he took a similar walk around Hollywood Blvd. near the area of the Chinese Theater, and posed with some admirers.

Go Bernie . . . he's cool on top of being brilliant!

18. OMG

That's just what I had for lunch today in rainy SoCal! Does that mean I'm channeling Bernie??
HAHAHAHA! Feelin' the Bern and hoping I run into him on the street when he's out here.
