Is it true that 20 New York City blocks equals one mile?

I am not talking give or take a few avenue blocks, but if you walk from speak, 86th street to 66th street - is that distance approximately one mile?



Answers:   
going on for. maybe two?
Yes it is, counting from 14th Street up.
You are correct.

But it depends on the area you are walking surrounded by. For example in lower Manhattan some "street" blocks can be shorter or longer than others.
Depends how big it is...
