A FUN URBAN HIKE IN MANHATTAN'S LITTLE ITALY, SOHO AND THE BOWERY (MODERATE)

Thursday looks like one of the nicer days this week to be outdoors. We will begin our urban hike on the Bowery with its eclectic mix of chic galleries, shops, residences and many historic sites. We then make our way to colorful Little Italy, where we see a lot of the well known restaurants and pastry shops along the way, and pay a brief visit to the landmarked Old St. Patrick's Cathedral. In Soho, with its cast-iron front buildings, we end our day with short stops at a few of the many art galleries in the area, and then walk over to the subway station at Broadway-Lafayette Street at REI.

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. We meet at the Good Century Cafe (also called Van Cafe) at 243 Grand Street at 12:30 PM. Take the B or D train to Grand Street; exit at the northwest corner of Grand and Chrystie and walk a half block over to the meeting spot.
