Picture It ... NYC ... Summer Streets

Let's get outside and walk the Summer Streets walk for fresh air, fitness and camaraderie with new friends.

Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City's most valuable public space – our streets.

• On select Saturdays from 7am to 3pm, the usual traffic noise and honking horns will be replaced by open streets teeming with walkers, bikers, runners, and performers. Discover a wealth of free cultural programs, performances, fitness classes, interactive art, giveaways, and much more as you experience the city in a whole new way.
• This year Summer Streets returns with more streets than ever before! Celebrate New York City’s 400th anniversary by exploring over 400 blocks of car-free fun, fitness, and live entertainment as the city’s streets transform into playgrounds for all to enjoy.

MEETING POINT: Dyckman Street subway station on the A train line at 8AM. We'll then walk the Summer Streets route from Dyckman Street and Broadway all the way to Brooklyn Street subway station (in Manhattan) on the 4/5/6 train line.

AGENDA: We'll do the reverse of the August 9 route. Rest stops along the way at:

• Broadway between West 110 Street and Dyckman Street

Total Mileage is about 12 miles from start to finish.

At the end of the walk, optional walk across the Brooklyn Bridge into Brooklyn where we'll grab celebratory eats and drinks before calling it a day.
