Upper East Side Manhattan Group Walk
What better way to see Manhattan than to walk it? This is a 5-mile Upper East Side group walk going through some of my favorite UES spots. Come alone or with a friend (pups included!).
We'll meet outside Ralph's Coffee, then head to the Conservatory Garden, Bagel Shop, and Carl Schurz Park...ending at the 86th St N/Q/R stop for those taking the subway home.
We’ll stop for bagels towards the end and eat them at the park. Feel free to bring a packed lunch if you'd prefer to DIY your picnic meal.
Please arrive 15 min early if you'd like to grab a pre-walk coffee, there will be a line - we'll roll out at 10:15am sharp.
Note this is a walk at "New York pedestrian pace." It's not a race, but we'll move with purpose as we walk through some of Brooklyn's prettiest neighborhoods. All are welcome, but if you'd like a slower stroll, have the route on hand to self-navigate.
Come ready to walk, chat, and take in the beauty of uptown Manhattan...which not enough people have seen!
