The later start is to avoid the game and traffic. You should also not be paying event parking prices since we are not attending the game.

Outdoory drinks and indoor mini golf

Let's meet up for drinks at Puttery NYC. It is a five level bar with two floors of mini golf. We will aim for the rooftop unless it is busy and if it is, we will meet on the third floor. Even will take place between 7pm and 10pm. You can drop in at any time in between those times. We might stay later than 10 but for now 10. No need to arrive at 7 sharp. I will post on the comments sections which floor we are meeting and also my number if you can't find us. Come join us even if it's your first meetup! The more the merrier. Let's chat over drinks about past and future outdoor adventures and play some mini-golf. Picture on the event is from their Instagram account. I will be walking starting at 6:30 from 34th on the Highline towards the bar if anyone wants to join me. Otherwise see everyone at 7 or anytime after.

NYC Marathon Cheer Zone

Let us go out and. cheer our members and everyone else who is running in the NYC Marathon. I will start the cheering in LIC at Gantry Bar and move from there to Manhattan. People usually cheer all around the city so if you are cheering anywhere else we can also meet up at the end. People are welcome to cheer at any other spot along the way. I will pick a bar where we can all meet after close to the race. Most bars in the Upper West Side are usually packed to the brim for the race so hopefully we can find one that is not. I will set up a WhatsApp chat to coordinate cheering and meeting points once we get close to the event. If you are running also RSVP and let us know your BIB number. I will be out in LIC cheering the head of the pack around 9am.

Hiking the length of Manhattan from the North to South - 20 mile walk

Let's walk or I guess "hike" the entire length of Manhattan from North to South. We will meet at the at 0900 at Mon Amour Coffee and Wine in Kingsbridge in The Bronx and walk all the way down to Staten Island ferry. We did this last year and it was such a blast so why not do it again! It is the day before the NYC marathon so perfect time do our own marathon at a slow poke pace. We will make stops for breakfast, lunch, beer or wine and dinner along the way. You can join in and out over the day but it is better if you come for the whole thing. Schedule that I am going to post is a rough one and we might be there earlier or later depending on our walking speed, etc. I will set up a WhatsApp chat the day before with live location if people want to catch up to us by subway or Citi bike. I picked a coffee shop in Kingsbridge so we could walk down to Marble Hill and start from the north border of Manhattan. Kingsbridge used to be an actual bridge that separated The Bronx from Manhattan until the Harlem River was landfilled and now it is just the neighborhood where the northern end of the bridge used to lie. The River itself was too shallow and narrow for boats so a canal was dug out on the southern end of Marble Hill turning Marble Hill briefly into an island until the river was landfilled on the north side. Marble Hill then became attached to The Bronx and became a Manhattan enclave in The Bronx. We will meet at Mon Amour Coffee and Wine at 0900 and start our walk, saunter or hike from there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/WTaRNkEZtiZUhtM77 **Rough schedule:** 9h00 Mon Amour Coffe and Wine next to the 238th St Station in The Bronx 9h45 Stop at Inwood Farms for brunch 11h00 Leave Inwood Farm 11h30 The Cloisters 14h00 Central Park North and Adam Clayton Powell 16h00 Playa Betty's for late lunch or early dinner 17h30 Leave Playa Betty's 19h30 Stop at Brass Monkey for drinks 20h30 Leave Brass Monkey 21h30 Arrive at the Staten Island Ferry 22h00 Dinner at Hey Thai on John St This is roughly a 20 mile walk. Bring a water bottle. Restaurants we stop at and bars will be happy to refill your bottle for you. Bring comfortable shoes. If you want bring two pairs of shoes and socks. Some people find it easier on their feet to switch shoes and socks halfway through. If we end up with a big crowd I would prefer to give priority to those who can commit to doing the whole thing. Last year we finished with 5 out of 20 while a group did the same thing and everyone in their group finished. Commitment would be awesome!!!
