New York Social Meet Up

Join us Sunday afternoon for warm conversations, steaming lattes, and a farewell to summer picnic and together we all gather and enjoy an outdoor social while doing one last picnic as some of you have requested one more picnic to do.

Instructions:

~ First, We will be meeting right front of Black Fox Coffee which has very nice outdoor seating which honestly includes the garden area you will be able to see as we all order our coffee/tea before we all start walking over to find a grass spot by Grand Army Plaza statue we can do our picnic.

Please remember that in order to get access into the 550 Garden, you can access it from the building’s lobby or directly from Madison Ave and 53rd Street. The garden is publicly accessible.

You can easily spot the Black Fox Coffee sign as you are in the garden.

Ways you can enter the garden:

One way is through 550 Madison Avenue:

Enter the building's main lobby and follow the signs to the garden, which is accessible from the west side of the tower.

From Madison Avenue:
The garden also has an entrance directly on Madison Avenue, near 53rd Street, providing direct access to this hidden oasis.

(You can take the (4,5,6) trains down to 59th Street (Manhattan) and it will be a 10-11 minute walk to the 550 Garden location and images are attached on how it looks.

If you’re coming from Queens, You may able to take the (E) train to 5th Av - 53rd St (Manhattan) and will be about a 5-6 minutes walk.

Please Note: We will be hanging around in the outdoor seating area until we see a decent amount shows up and within a hour passing by, we will walk together as a group to Grand Army Plaza statue area and walk over to see where we can set up to do our farewell summer picnic.

Secondly, We will go ahead and walk over to the Grand Army Plaza statue and find a grass spot where we all can be seated to do our farewell summer picnic.

Thirdly, I understand that it may get very confusing. This is why it is very important to read and stay notified on where group departs or where the group moves to.

Please remember to:

• Bring some snacks to share with everyone.
• Feel free to bring what you may be comfortable with.
