Strongly advise booking your tickets online and arriving at the BMB by 10:10 am to wait for the 10:30 am Ferry.

We'll be departing at 10am from the Bridle Path entering the park from the 90th St. & 5th Ave. entrance. We’re the NYC Chapter of Ever Walk – an international movement to encourage people to walk together to enhance physical and mental health.
