**TOPIC IN BRIEF**
**Wave Hill** is a 28-acre (11 ha) estate in the [Hudson Hill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Hill,_Bronx "Hudson Hill, Bronx") section of [Riverdale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverdale,_Bronx "Riverdale, Bronx") in [the Bronx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bronx "The Bronx"), [New York City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City "New York City"). Wave Hill currently consists of public horticultural gardens and a cultural center, all situated on the slopes overlooking the [Hudson River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_River "Hudson River"), with expansive views across the river to the [New Jersey Palisades](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey_Palisades "New Jersey Palisades"). The estate includes two houses and a [botanical garden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botanical_garden "Botanical garden"). The oldest part of the main house, Wave Hill House, dates to 1843; Glyndor House dates from 1927 and contains a multi-room art gallery. Perkins Visitor Center, which was originally a garage, contains a gift shop and an information desk.

**MEETUP LOCATION**
**Riverdale -** **Metro North train station**
From Grand Central take the Metro North ***Hudson Line***, **Croton Harmon local train, at 1:20pm for 1:48pm arrival, at Riverdale station.**
***NOTE:***
***Avoid purchasing your ticket onboard the train as they are much more expensive. Either the app or ticket machines save you the extra cost.***
**Fares:** *Off-peak City Ticket is $5 (everyone qualifies)*;
*(Off-peak Reg is $7.50.) (Senior Reg is $5.)*

***RECOMMENDED: Only purchase 1 ticket to event because there's the possibility of using #1 subway to return at the end of event back to Manhattan & there's a fee to return a purchased ticket. You can always buy a Metro North ticket at your return station if necessary or with the MTA Train Time app.***

**PLAN**
We'll begin our photo walk at the ***Metro North Riverdale Railroad*** station where there are views of the New Jersey palisades. After a scenic walk of approximately 0.6 mile we'll arrive at the Wave Hill gate.
There is an ***option for return*** with the **NYC #1 subway** which runs all the way back to Manhattan & on down to South Ferry. This depends how we feel about either walking 1 1/2 miles or 0.6 mile for return.

**PHOTO SUGGESTIONS**

* Hudson River/NJ Palisades
* Riverdale train station area
* Scenic Overlook
