What we’re about
Join Outdoors Club around the New York City area. Visit interesting places and meet new people. Some activities are easy, and others difficult. Most of our events are easily reached by public transportation.
ARE YOU A MEMBER? Joining this Meetup group does not make you an Outdoors Club member. Non-members pay one-day dues of $5 to attend an Outdoors Club event. By becoming an annual dues paying member, you won't have to pay $5 per event, you'll receive our semi-annual hike schedule in advance, be notified of Member-Only events not posted on Meetup and support Outdoors Club operations. http://www.outdoorsclubny.org/membership/
RSVP COURTESY: We appreciate you being a considerate Outdoors Club community member. There are often more people wanting to attend than spots available. Sign up only if you intend to show up. If you have to cancel, please change your RSVP as early as possible to allow someone on the waitlist an opportunity attend.

ManhattanHow to Find Us: Meet beneath The Clock 11 AM at the information booth in the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal. Five subway lines have stops here: the 4, 5, 6, 7 and S. Toilets are available at the lower level of the terminal and at the conclusion of the walk, which will be at Saravanaa Bhavan restaurant, 81 Lexington Ave (East 26th St). The 6 train stops at Park Ave and East 23rd St, and the R and W trains stop at Broadway at East 23rd St. The walk will cover about three miles.
Details: Limited to 25 walkers. $5 for non-members of the Outdoors Club.
Murray Hill was once considered Manhattan's Upper East Side, and it remains at least as swank as its successor. In addition to Grand Central Terminal, we'll admire landmarked row houses, 19th century churches and schools, the Morgan Library and Museum, and a little-known NYC historic district. Walkers have the option of a delicious lunch at Saravanaa Bhavan, "the world's number-one Indian vegetarian restaurant chain."
