George Throop, a 38-year-old Vancouver, Wash. man stopped off at Maoz Vegetarian for lunch on Tuesday as he continued his "Walk of Inspiration Across America" to inspire healthy living.
Since 2009, Throop has walked thousands of miles across the United States, reaching his destination of Washington, D.C. this past summer. He then decided to extend his trip up to New York, and will reach Long Island in late January.
He will continue walking on Tuesday with the goal of reaching a hotel in Woodbridge that has offered him lodging.
Throop is tracking his journey on his website, http://www.enjoythewalk.org.
