Walking Tour: Harlem's Hamilton Heights and Sugar Hill

RSVPs begin Wednesday, April 30th at 6:30pm. Space is set aside for new members and timers and other members who have yet to attend one of our activities. If this is you and landed on the waiting list email me at hankorenstein@gmail to request a spot. Note: Space has been set aside on this tour for members of the Broadway Mall Association which is why there are a limited number of spots.

This is the first in a series of three tours (and an annual tradition) to raise awareness and money for a very special non-profit organization called the Broadway Mall Association (BMA), which helps keeps Broadway beautiful from 72nd Street to 168th Street with plantings, landscaping and art exhibits. Read more about BMA: here: http://broadwaymall.org/

Cost: $10:00 payable in cash at the tour. All proceeds to the BMA.

TO BRING: Sun protection, water, lunch or snacks as we will have a break. Please be fit to walk a good 4-5 miles. There is some hilly terrain.

OVERVIEW
Join us as we discover some of Manhattan's hidden treasures! This unique and diverse Manhattan neighborhood contains some of the city's most beautiful townhouses, several mansions, distinctive residential architecture, historic sites, beautiful community gardens, and the magnificent campus of City College. We'll start with a visit to Manhattan's only State Park, Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park which is situated on the Hudson River and features a wide range of recreational opportunities, along with its unique design and scenic vistas of the river. This will serve as a restroom stop at the beginning of the tour (there will be at least one later).

We'll stop at The Grange, the only home owned by founding father Alexander Hamilton and there is a planned visit to The Essie Greene Art Gallery featuring the works of Harlem artists and others of the African Diaspora. You'll also come away with lots of ideas for eating out and exploring on your own should you return to this special neighborhood.

We'll end our tour near where we began so this is a circular route. Optional group brunch or hang out at a local establishment after the walk.

Cheers!
