DataVis Practice

DataVis Practice offers a supportive environment for your data visualization talks. We meet at Loreley - a German Beer Garden at the heart of the Lower East Side, where you can give your talks in a safe, low-stakes room and receive appreciation feedback. Hors D'oeuvres will be served. Cash bar. Keep your skills up to date: data analysis, data visualization and story telling with data. Communicate your big idea according to best practices. All levels are welcome. Whether you are an experienced speaker looking to give back or can’t remember the last time you had to speak in public, you are invited. We value Data Visualization best practices, tech is not important - whether you prefer Tableau, Python, Microsoft Power BI or Excel. Please bring your own laptop for talks. Guests are welcome. Must be 21+. Email [datavispractice@gmail.com](mailto:datavispractice@gmail.com) to sign up for a 5min talk.

If by car: \- Meet us at Bear Mountain Inn by 10am \- Please note there’s a $10 parking fee If by bus: \- NYC to Bear Mountain: Meet at NYC’s Port Authority Bus Terminal Gate 405 by 7:45am \(because bus tickets are first come\, first served and not for a specific date\. See details below\) Bus departs PABT at 8:45am\. Bus arrives at Bear Mountain Inn at 10:15am \- Bear Mountain to NYC: Meet at Bear Mountain Inn at 4:55pm\. Bus leaves Bear Mountain Inn at 5:15pm\. Will arrive at Port Authority Bus Terminal by 7pm \- No bus refunds \(unless roads closed\)\, but can use bus tickets over next 365 days \- Link to get bus tickets: [https://www.coachusa.com/travel-option/2597283/2577654/0118aed2?date=2026-10-24](https://www.coachusa.com/travel-option/2597283/2577654/0118aed2?date=2026-10-24) \- Bus is $18\.40 from NYC to Bear Mountain and it’s $18\.40 back \(there’s also a $2 surcharge each way so the total is of $40\.80\) \- And oddly enough the bus ticket just says valid from date of purchase and valid through one year after the date of purchase\. With that said\, please try your best to get to Port Authority Bus Terminal as soon as you can \(I’ll get there by 7:30am and recommend everyone gets there by 7:45am if possible\) to confirm your spot in line\. Please click the reverse sign to get the return ticket. The host bought round trip bus tickets. The full itinerary: 1\. After arriving at 10:15am\, some people may want to use the restroom at Bear Mountain Inn / Restaurant 1915\. And some people may want to make a beeline for Trailside Museum & Zoo by 10:30am to get free donuts and hot cocoa by 10:30am \(not sure how hard the time cut\-off is lol\)\. Trailside Museum & Zoo is a 20 minute walk from Bear Mountain Inn\. 2\. Our way to Trailside Museum & Zoo will be the first quarter of the Hessian Loop Trail \(linked below\)\. It’s 1\.5 mile and is relatively flat \(so it’s considered easy\)\. We’ll continue that trail after getting free donuts and hot cocoa\. 3\. After 30 minutes to an hour\, we’ll complete the Hessian Loop Trail\. 4\. Then we’ll head to do the Bear Mountain Loop Trail \(also linked below\)\. It’ll take 3\.5 to 4 hours\. We’ll be going up 1\,000 feet in about 2 miles so it’ll be moderate / hard difficulty but if you’re relatively fit it should be no problem\. If folks prefer\, they are more than welcome to hang out at Trailside Museum & Zoo \($1 suggested donation and is open from 10am to 4:30pm\) or the 1915 Restaurant in the meantime\. 5\. From 3 to 4:45pm\, a group of us will eat at 1915 Restaurant which is located at Bear Mountain Inn \(where the bus dropped us off\)\. It’ll be a separate Meetup event\. If interested in joining\, please RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/borough-hoppers/events/316818677 6\. We’ll make our way to the bus pick\-up location by 4:55pm\. The bus will pick us up by 5:15pm and we’ll arrive back at Port Authority by 7pm Here are details of the two hikes we’ll do: \- Hessian Loop Trail \(1\.5 miles\, 30 minutes to 1 hour\, Easy\) * [https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/hessian-lake-loop](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/hessian-lake-loop) \- Bear Mountain Loop Trail \(4 miles\, 3\.5 to 4 hours\, Moderate/Hard\) * [https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/bear-mountain-loop-trail](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/bear-mountain-loop-trail) See photos album for screenshots of trails routes and incline Google maps links Port Authority: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/2BZJ4TGeeYd1onKu6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2BZJ4TGeeYd1onKu6) Bear Mountain Inn: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/e7QiuJ73WUDEij488](https://maps.app.goo.gl/e7QiuJ73WUDEij488) Trailside Museums & Zoo [https://maps.app.goo.gl/atcGtH3Kixm4uBCv8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/atcGtH3Kixm4uBCv8) Of course, please reach out if you have any questions!
