Manhattan Summer Streets 2026
Sat, Aug 15 · 10:30 AM EDT
USS Maine Monument, in, USS Maine monument at Columbus circle at the corner of Central Park, Manhattan, NY, US
Let’s participate in Manhattan Summer Streets 2026.

Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City's most valuable public space – our streets. On select summer Saturdays our city’s usual traffic noise and honking horns will be replaced with open streets teeming with walkers, bikers, runners, and performers. Discover a wealth of free cultural programs, performances, fitness classes, interactive art, giveaways, and much more as you experience the city in this whole new way.

We’ll meet at the Maine Monument in the southwest corner of Central Park, opposite Columbus Circle, at 10:30 am. Wheels up
at 11 am sharp.

We’ll ride the lower part of the park drive up to 72nd Street, exit and head east to Park Avenue, where we’ll pick up the vehicle-free Summer Streets and head south.

Our route will take us around Grand Central Terminal and south on Park Avenue, Fourth Avenue and finally Lafayette Street to the Brooklyn Bridge (which we will not ride over).
At the bridge we will turn around and retrace the same route back to Columbus Circle, where we can grab a bite in the Turnstyle Underground Market. Criollas has wonderful empanadas and is owned by a Bromptoneer. There are other options as well. https://share.google/oFEBoRmo7ViR1zp8t

If you are more adventurous and want to ride north of 72nd Street on Park Avenue (the traffic-free route continues to Dykman Street in Northern Manhattan/Inwood), you will have the option to leave the group at that point.

Note: Summer Streets does get crowded and our group will likely separate. With that in mind, we will stop at prearranged points to regather and continue. Here are those pre-arranged points:

SOUTHBOUND/DOWNTOWN
Park Avenue and 36th Street (northwest corner)
Lafayette Street and East 10th Street (northwest corner)
Lafayette Street and Chambers Street (northwest corner)

NORTHBOUND/UPTOWN
Park Avenue and 46th Street (northeast corner)

Park Avenue and 71st Street (on 71st between the northbound and southbound lanes of Park Avenue)

This is a chill ride with a total distance of approximately 12 miles. It is generally flat, but there is a hill on the way back, on Park Avenue above 50th Street.

The Wine

Does the music have the power to influence what’s in your glass? Science says yes!

We've partnered with wine guide Nathalie Nayman to pair a wine with a piece of music for you to taste and hear at once — a small, multisensory experiment in where art and science meet — before the band picks the groove back up.

To participate in our multisensory wine & jazz interactive experience, be sure to choose the "Wine Pairing" option with your ticket on the sign-up page.

Randalls Island Full Moon and Picnic Ride
Fri, Aug 28 · 6:15 PM EDT
Queensbridge Park, Vernon Boulevard, Long Island City, NY, US
Full Moon Ride!

Friday, August 28 will be a full moon. Want to ride with Brompton friends to Randalls Island and enjoy a moonlit picnic? This is a chill ride with equal emphasis on riding, socializing and enjoying the NYC evening sky.

This ride is for Brompton bicycles only.

Meeting/Departure
We'll meet at the southeast corner of Queensbridge Park and depart punctually after 15 minutes of socializing. (Note: We need to depart on time due to timing with the sunset). Then we'll bike up to Astoria Park and cross the RFK bridge to Randall’s Island.

Sunset
We'll stop to enjoy the sunset from Astoria Park and from the RFK Bridge.

Full Moon
We'll spread our blankets at the southern tip of Randalls Island and watch the moon rise and city lights in all their splendor.

Picnic
Please bring your own beverage, picnic blanket, and snacks to share.

Return
Feel free to depart earlier, but we'll exit the island as a group around 10:00, crossing the 103rd Street Bridge to Manhattan. We'll bike down the East River and end the ride at the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge. (There are path closings on the East River, so we will need to bike on 2nd Avenue for parts of this.) You can exit the ride wherever you're close to home, or bike with us to Brooklyn if that's your destination.

Route
You can view the route on Ride with GPS

What to bring
- Head light and tail light are essential
- Picnic blanket if you have one
- Picnic snacks or food to share
- Your own beverages
The bathrooms on Randalls Island are often closed, so please plan accordingly. There are no services, so make sure to bring enough food and drink.

If want you to join at Randall's Island at 7:45pm, let us know in the comments.

This ride is all about the evening sky. Rainy, drizzly or very cloudy weather will cancel this ride.
