I was wonder if you might be spending some time at the Waldorf-Austoria.  Bet it was fun.

I never carry a compass...extra food is subjective...but, I try to. No pocket knife or water filter. I have 'day clothes' and 'night clothes'.  Always a flashlight and never the last two. 

As for the original question, I think it'd be fairly easy to hike without a book or maps. But, it's probably MUCH more convenient if you do. Plus, there are few things I like more than looking at maps. 

I'm home from a fairly exhaustive four-day trip to NYC.  A trip that saw me spend WAY too much time in Ohio....which is beautiful this time of year.  I'll tell you about it at some point. Unless you don't want I should.
