Sunnyside and Woodside Hike to Little Manila, India and Nepal in Jackson Heights

Wednesday is looking like one of the nicer days this week to be outdoors. We will walk in the pleasant and historic Queens neighborhoods of Sunnyside and Woodside, ending at 61 Street and Roosevelt Avenue by the 7 train. Those who wish can walk a few blocks east to visit Little India, Manila and Nepal in Jackson Heights, go to Expresso 77, with its famous special flavor lattes, as well as an art gallery in the shop, and have access to additional subway lines at Roosevelt Ave. Jackson Heights. During the day we will spend some time in the planned housing community of Sunnyside Gardens, visit the Topaz Gallery if open as well as the Woodside Heights art museum, and the nearby nearly 100 year old library in Woodside.

This hike is joint with Outdoors Club Inc., and you need to be on only one Club’s going list (15 participants per group). We will walk at a steady, moderate but not slow pace over a distance of around 4 miles, stopping at places of interest. There will be no lunch stop, so bring some snacks along if you wish. (This hike is intended for adults 18 years and older and please no dogs).

Precipitation, as well as potentially unsafe ground conditions from ice or snow, or even questionable forecast may cancel, postpone or modify; check website for latest updates. To get to the meeting spot, take the 7 train to 40th Street in Queens. Meet at Chipotle at 40-15 Queens Boulevard on Queens Boulevard and 41st Street at 12:30 PM.
