For a Full List of Events: www.NewYorKSocialNetwork.com

No matter the season, there are always things to do. A snowy hike or a stunning spring walk -- we have breathtaking trips for you to enjoy. You can also join us at some great events in the city including Happy Hours and Scavenger Hunts.

We have been doing this for over 17 years and we are excited to have you! This group is open to all but you’ll find the majority of the groups are in their 20s to 40s.

Don't worry about coming out alone, that's what many do... and you’ll walk away with new friends. You will always have a host to greet you and introduce you to other members at our events.

**Some events listed are run by other meetup partners. For a full list of New York Social Network’s events, see: www.NewYorKSocialNetwork.com

Sun, 20 July 2025, 10:00 am EDTUnderground NYC Tour (AKA Empire Beneath The Streets Group Tour)
Starbucks, New York, NY
*TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT - https://dljparty.ticketleap.com/undergroundnyc/dates (*Must purchase in advance. This tour sells out quickly so don't wait.)

It's right under your feet, you probably ride it every day, but how much do you know about this city's amazing subway system.

Our private tour guide will give us the secret history and inside story of the creation of the original 1904 subway line and how it grew into the most extensive transportation system in the world.

All the art, all the history, all the technical breakthroughs, all the "whys" and all the shenanigans that went into this spectacular achievement. A unique experience for seasoned locals or new members to our fair city.

Get a look at the subway that few people, even lifelong New Yorkers, fail to recognize. This tour explores the areas of the system that are open to the public but in most cases overlooked. You'll end at Grand Central Shuttle Station.

We will enter the system at Brooklyn Bridge/Chambers Street Station. We will board a downtown local train so as to view the old City Hall Station from the train. We will be stopping at Astor Place and Grand Central station. We will switch to the Times Square- Grand Central Shuttle and then go over to Times Square. After that we will go back over to the Grand Central Shuttle Station. This is also the final stop on this tour.

NOTE: We do not go into the tunnels or any area that is not open to the public. This includes the long-closed City Hall Station, which we will view from the safety of a train.

All ages are welcome. Rain or shine event.

*$39-$45 depending upon how early you purchase. Host/meeting details will be emailed to all paid attendees.
