BUSHWICK STREET ART, GALLERY AND BREWERY URBAN HIKE

This walk in Bushwick is as much fun as any of the urban hikes we do. After brief stops at a vibrant outdoor market and stunning Danish Cafe, there is much more to see and enjoy. Bushwick was a major center of beer brewing for many years, but on the night of July 13, 1977 was devastated by looting and arson during a major blackout in New York City. It has now emerged as an epicenter of art and culture. On our walk we will visit properties with concentrations of art galleries, see a lot of the fantastic Street Art, and view the remnants of the brewery business and the mansions on the boulevard where the industry executives lived. Our walk ends at the Kosciuszko St. subway stop on the BMT J line with easy access back to Manhattan.

This hike is joint with Outdoors Club Inc., and you need to be on only one Club’s going list. 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 or even questionable forecast may cancel, postpone or modify; check website for latest updates. We start at 12:45 PM. Take the L line to Jefferson St., exit at Starr and Wyckoff Street, and meet in front of Wyckoff Starr Coffee Shop at 30 Wyckoff Avenue where we begin our trip at 12:45 PM.
