Greetings Shutterbugs.
This is my very first weekend event I will be hosting as your new organizerup!
For this, I'm bringing back an recurring event from Marcos's meetups: the Hudson River Park/High Line loop walk.
We will begin by walking west along 34th Street, passing by Javits Center, and entering the park at 12th Avenue; from there we'll walk straight along the Hudson River Greenway, traversing past Little Island until we reach the Gansevoort Peninsula where we will stop to rest for 15 minutes. Following that, we will circle back via the High Line to Hudson Yards, where our journey will end; from there you can choose to disembark from the rest of us for the 7 train or walk back to 8th Ave/Penn/MSG area. The choice is yours.
UPDATE: The High Line has closed off the 10th Avenue Square section beweeen 16th and 17th Streets for reconstruction. As such our route will be slightly different that I originally planned. You can read more about the project here.
We can choose to continue walking down to Gansevoort, and walk back to 17th Avenue, where the northern stretch of the High Line begins. Or, we can walk to Chelsea Piers, then walk onto 17th Street to the High Line entrance.

Rain Date: Sunday, July 20 at 1pm
This Meetup event will be limited to 6 people max; if you RSVP and change your mind, please kindly change your RSVP status, so that the next person on the waitlist can attend. RSVPs close at 6pm on Friday July 18th.
Lastly, please bookmark this page for any periodical updates pertaining to this event; If there is rain in the forecast, I will make a final decision by the early morning of the event, or earlier, on whether to cancel or reschedule it for the rain date described above.
Hope to see you then!

- Exploring the Elegance of Forest Hills GardensForest Hills 71st Avenue stop on the E, F, M or R train, Forest Hills, NY
Let's walk and meander through Forest Hills Gardens, a private enclave within the larger neighborhood of Forest Hills, with its Tudor-style townhouses, apartment buildings, and manicured gardens.
We'll meet outside the Forest Hills/71st Avenue station at 2:00 pm; approx. 10 minutes later, we'll begin walking to Station Square and circling along Burns Avenue, eventually travelling along Greenway South and Tennis Place to the West Side Tennis Club/Stadium area (where the US Open was originally contested), concluding our walk from there.
Afterwards, we can walk to the newly opened Forest Hills Pizzeria (at 9 Station Square, across from LIRR), have a bite to eat, and then say our farewells.

The group for this event will be limited to 5 people max (including myself). If you RSVP, and are suddenly unable to attend, please kindly remove yourself from the "going" list; that way the next person in the waitlist line can take your place.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
There is no public parking at Forest Hills Gardens, and the roads surrounding Forest Hills Stadium will be closed off due to event taking place that evening. So taking public transportation to get here is strongly encouraged. More on Forest Hills Stadium's recommendations on arriving by public transit are detailed on their page here.Also, if you travel around Queens, please note the MTA's Queens Bus Redesign has taken effect this summer; several routes that run near the Forest Hills area have seen numerous bus stop changes. Learn more about the project here.
More updates will follow as we get closer to the event.
Hope to see you then!
