trashscapes: a noticing (and photo) walk

**LOOK DOWN MORE!** ​ ​A casual walk through the East Village for anyone who wants to slow down, look more carefully at what's around them, and capture what they find. On this walk, we'll move slowly through the neighborhood looking for things worth pausing at and then figuring out how to capture them. I suggest a phone or camera, but feel free to bring a sketchbook or whatever you prefer. Any amount (including 0) of art experience is welcome. :) **this event is pay-what-you-want. the suggested price is $10** **want to pay $5? use promo code "five".** **want to pay $1? use promo code "one"** ​--- ​This walk is inspired by trashscapes—an ongoing photography project that started with a simple habit: noticing the accidental compositions of debris and found matter on NYC streets. Over a decade of daily walks, the habit became an archive of what gets left behind. I'm drawn to the way found matter interplays with the city's infrastructure—using it as framing, finding balance in color and form, and making the incidental feel composed.

South Manhattan Shoreline Scouting Walk — 17 miles

**Take the Great Saunter Fall Challenge! [Register here](https://shorewalkers.org/join-a-saunter/) to walk 32 miles over 16 days, starting October 3rd. Help Shorewalkers support our parks by donating $10 to participate, with all fees going to the [Riverside Park Conservancy](https://riversideparknyc.org/).** How do hike leaders scout walks? Learn how a city walk is scouted while helping Shorewalkers prepare for the [Great Saunter Fall Challenge](https://shorewalkers.org/great-saunter-fall-challenge/) in October. **Meet** 9:30 am outside Carlo's Bakery (625 8th Ave @ SW corner 42nd St) for a prompt departure as soon as everyone is there. *Arrive early if you want to buy snacks & drinks at the recently-opened Hell's Kitchen Aldi (open 9 am) across 42nd from the meeting location*. **Transit** subway stations @ 42nd & 8th/7th/6th Aves. NJT bus to PABT. NJT/LIRR rail to NY Penn. PATH to 33rd St. *Check for transit service changes before leaving home!* **The Plan:** walk at a fast (3.3 mph) pace to the Hudson River Greenway, then south (*in reverse*) along the Great Saunter route to Whitehall (Staten Island Ferry) Terminal, where we'll stop for a break. Continue north on/near the East River shoreline to Carl Schurz Park (84th St). **How we'll scout together:** along the way — as a team — we keep an eye out for any updates that need to be made to our [Great Saunter digital map](https://map.shorewalkers.org/). Map updates help your fellow walkers, as well as the hike leaders who will lead Reverse Saunter Stretches during Fall Challenge 2026. Using the Saunter map and a live GPS tracing tool (like Strava), we'll note, e.g., where a route detour is necessary, where new toilets are available, old ones unavailable, etc. At points, we may explore an alternate path and then have to backtrack — it's all part of the fun of exploration! **Note** this is a scouting walk — *walk pace, distance & end time are estimates*. The south Manhattan half of the route will almost certainly require more map updates than the northern half due to construction in Battery Park City and above the Hospital for Special Surgery. **You:** this walk is suitable for fit, enthusiastic walkers with a sense of humor. We'll walk at a quick pace, but will stop anytime someone needs a toilet, drinks, snacks, etc. *Not suitable for slow walkers or the impatient*. Preference will be given to participants of last week's *North Manhattan Shoreline Scouting Walk*. **Achtung** *change your RSVP promptly if you cannot attend*. Habitual no-shows will be removed from the going list. **Bring** drinks, snacks, sunscreen, hydration salts, hat, portable charger, and forecast-appropriate clothing. Bookmark the Great Saunter digital map on your mobile browser. Install Strava, AllTrails, or similar GPS route app. Pack sunglasses: the sun will be in our faces for much of the day due to the reverse course. **Weather** we proceed if light rain is forecast; we'll reschedule in case of severe weather. **Drop-out points** all around the scouting route. **After party** everyone is welcome to enjoy drinks & eats at a location TBD. If the group prefers, we can instead buy snacks & drinks elsewhere and enjoy them at Carl Schurz Park. Lexington & 2nd Ave subways are a short walk away. **Leader** Dan D [contact via Meetup] **Co-host** Sheila Chung

Guided Mindful Walking in Nature - Governors Island Edition

**Though the body we move in nature, with our mind/consciousness we are part of nature.** **MINDFULNESS - the practice of maintaining a nonjudgemental state of heighted or complete awareness of one's thoughts, emotions or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis.** **MINDFUL WALKING - a practice that enhances mental clarity and reduces stress by fostering a deep connection with the present moment (the here and now) through awareness of each individual step and the Sight, Sound and Smell of the surrounding environment.** **Take the 10:00 am Governors Island Ferry from the Battery Maritime Building (10 South Street).** **You can book the ferry online or at the BMB.** **(check the Governors Island website for complete information)** **Please read the below information carefully and take the time to view the myriads of videos available that explain the concept of Mindful Walking.** **Let me begin by thanking you for accompanying me on a work in progress to develop a methodology for teaching and leading a Mindful Walking workshop, my goal is to guide/lead the novice through an unfamiliar or complex procedure in a step-by-step process so that they can attain a basic level of skill and knowledge in the practice of Mindful Walking. Upon meeting at the Governors Island Welcome Center for a brief introduction we will proceed to the Parade Grounds and commerce with a breathing and exercise session, followed by several training practice walks that will introduce the attendees to the techniques of Mindful Walking.** **For the remainder of our Governors Island adventure, we will alternate long bouts of conversation flowing walking sessions with shorter bouts of silent guided Mindful Walking sessions (which will transverse the natural scenic beauty of the The Great Promenade and The Hills).** **Because of the workshop nature of this event, I will limit the number of attendees to ten (10) people. When you sign up, you will be placed on the Waiting List. Attendees will be manually moved from the Waiting List to the Going List. Am looking for First Timers to attend these training events. My future vision for this method of training is to present many workshops for first timers, mixed with separate events for those adepts with the Mindful Walking concept. Furthermore, I will expand the range of this event to scenic natural locations (including waterside venues) around the Greater New York area.** **Our journey will end at back at the Welcome Center.** **Will be walking at a moderate (not slow) pace. The walk will last three hours and will cover about 4 miles. There will be ample restrooms stops and a 20-minute snack break.** **Heavy rain/snow or other forms of extreme weather will cancel the walk. Please check this site for updates.** **LEADER: Bob Lazzaro email: rlazzaro4@aol.com.** **I will use a voice amplification device to foster better understanding and clarity between myself and attendees.**

International Food and Art Walking Adventure

On this moderately paced 5 1/2 mile walk it is all about exploring a variety of food choices for lunch at Smorgasburg in Williamsburg, followed by a “taste” of art at MOMA’s PS1 in Long Island City. The walk will last about 5 hours on city streets. The terrain is flat, except for mild elevations on the bridges. We will meet on the 2nd floor of the Essex Market on Delancey Street. From there, we will walk over the Williamsburg Bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn, and then walk along the waterfront through Domino Park, with its outstanding views of Manhattan. We will visit the original Smorgasburg in Williamsburg for lunch before continuing on through Greenpoint, and over the Pulaski Bridge from Brooklyn to Queens to view the 'Greater New York" exhibit at MOMA's PS1 in Long Island City. Our walk will end near the Court Square Subway Station in Long Island City (E,F, G, and 7 trains). There will be other drop-out points along the way. If there are walkers who wish to extend the walk, one of the hosts will lead that group back to Manhattan over the 59th Street Bridge. At Smorgasburg, most vendors accept credit cards or electronic payment methods and food items generally range in price from $15-$30, At PS1, there is no entrance charge but you must go through security and open your bags for inspection to enter. MEET: The Essex Market, inside the building on Delancey Street and Essex, on the 2nd floor to the right of the stairs/elevators near the bathrooms, at 10:45 am. We will leave promptly at 11 am. Nearby subways: Delancey Street Station: F,M,J, or Z trains. • Bring extra water, and a hat. • We will have two more bathroom breaks after Essex: Smorgasburg and PS1. • We walk in all weather, except for thunderstorms. If you want to bring a guest, please have them sign a waiver at: [https://tinyurl.com/28cez6j8](https://tinyurl.com/28cez6j8) If your plans change please cancel as early as possible. Hosts: Barbara Lanzara (917) 623-2589 Alissa Rivin. (347) 782-1431 (co-host) Please use phone text if you need to contact us on the day of the hike. Include your first name at the end of the message.

Last Call for Long Beach ⛱️

As Summer comes to a close, I thought one final beach excursion would be fun. The plan is to make a return to Long Beach, Long Island on Labor Day weekend. If you haven't been to this particular beach before, traveling there by train is stress free. The plan is to catch the **11:06 am** train on the day of the event. The group will meet at Penn Station in front of the LIRR schedule board and wait for the track number to be released. Once announced, we board the train and the Long Island Railroad takes us directly there. The beach is just a short walk from the Long Beach train station. Please be advised, entrance to the beach costs around 16 dollars. After our day of relief and relaxation, the group can grab a bite to eat nearby and visit a local brewery called 'Bright Eye Beer Co'.
