Stand tall, breathe deeply, and experience the city from a whole new perspective. Walking is not only great for your body, but also for your mind, and a peaceful morning walk is the perfect way to start the day.
We’ll begin at Union Square and make our way north to Central Park, with three hours for this urban walk. We will travel approximately 6 miles. Enjoy the unique atmosphere that only Summer Streets can offer.
