I'd probably spend more money repairing the wheels on my suitcase if they got messed up from dragging it along the uneven New York streets.
First off, between 116 and 125 is 9 blocks. A mile in NYC is 20 blocks. this person is going to 120 street. So getting off the subway at either station is a short walk.
