LET'S WALK FOR ICE CREAM! 8 mile loop

Details

Our i-conic🍦ice cream walk is back!

This walk is all about ice cream, perfect for a hot summer day in the city:

  • brisker 8 mile loop with start/ end at Columbus Circle
  • about 5 hours on city streets (Upper West / East Side) and Central Park paths
  • numerous drop out points

Meet:
Columbus Circle behind the Maine Monument in the shade at 4pm. We will start on time. Subways: 59th street station (Columbus Circle): A, B, C, D, 1; 57th street station (Carnegie Hall): N, Q, R.

What to expect on this walk:

  • Mix of modern creameries and old-school parlors with a blend of traditional and innovative gelato, kosher, vegan and even Mexican-inspired ice cream. Most of the stops are rated 4.5 out of 5 stars!
  • We will visit 3 ice cream places on the West Side and 3 on the East Side, which includes some hidden treasures and delicious surprises.
  • This is the ultimate happy walk.

Important:

  • Bring water, cash, and wet wipes for the sticky fingers (optional).
  • Use bathrooms before the walk in Central Park (Merchants' Gate Public Restroom) or Columbus Circle shops (Wholefoods or upstairs).
  • We will have a bathroom break in Central Park by the tennis courts about half way on the walk.
  • Only 30 walkers due to limited capacity in ice creams shops. If you don't get on this walk, don't worry: we will repeat the walk in July and August. Watch out for the posts on Meetup.
  • We walk in all weather, except for thunderstorms.
