The New York City Vegetarian & Vegan Meetup

Please join us as we tour the whole length of High Line Park, including Hudson Yards and the new High Line Park Section Three, with its stunning Hudson River views. After the tour, join us for a vegan picnic dinner.

From Wikipedia: The High Line (also known as the High Line Park) is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33 km) New York City linear park built in Manhattan on an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line. Inspired by the 3-mile (4.8-kilometer) Promenade Plantée, a similar project in Paris completed in 1993, the High Line has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway and rails-to-trails park.

From the High Line website: The High Line is now one, continuous, 1.45-mile-long greenway featuring 500+ species of plants and trees. The park is maintained, operated, and programmed by Friends of the High Line in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation. On top of public space and gardens, the High Line is home to a diverse suite of public programs, community and teen engagement, and world-class artwork and performances, free and open to all.

For those of you who have never attended one of our Meetup events: this is an incredibly friendly and welcoming group. We are delighted to meet you and welcome you to our group.

Where to Meet: We will meet at the High Line South Entrance, at the southern tip of the Highline, on the NW corner of Washington St. & Gansevoort St. You will see a big sign that says "High Line" and you will see stairs leading up to the High Line. We will meet at the bottom of those stairs. We will meet there at 7:00pm, wait until 7:10pm, and then walk up the stairs to the High Line. Don't be late!

Vegan Picnic Dinner: We will walk the full length of the High Line, ending at Hudson Yards (which is at the High Line's northern tip). At Hudson Yards, there is a great vegan Mexican restaurant - Jajaja. There is also a Whole Foods supermarket, and a few other vegan options. Purchase some vegan food wherever you like (or bring your own if you prefer), and then join us for a vegan picnic dinner at the Manhattan West picnic area.

Train Directions: Take the A, C, E or L Trains to 14th Street (& 8th Avenue). Walk from 14th Street & 8th Avenue to the High Line South Entrance, at the corner of Washington St. & Gansevoort St. We'll meet at the High Line entrance at the bottom of the stairs (street level).

Arrive between 7:00pm and 7:10pm. Don't be late! Join us for this delightful summer evening stroll, tour, and vegan picnic dinner.

It is perfectly all right to arrive at 12:00pm or 12:30pm, though arriving at 11:30pm is ideal. The group will be hanging out until 1:00pm at the venue and possibly head over to Domino Park to get some Sun. :)

Join us as we'll be visiting Guevera's, Brooklyn - a spot for coffee & vegan sandwiches & pastries served in a bright, contemporary cafe with a grocery shop. This place has just the right mix of cozy energy, great food, and that Brooklyn charm we all love. Whether you're here to catch up, meet someone new, or just unwind, we’re glad you made time to be part of this. Join us let’s eat, chat, and make the most of a slow and easy afternoon together.

I want to share some recent Google reviews - Rating 4.4/5

Piper Martz - "Super fun pink vibes at this grab n go location! There is seating but it mostly a spot for takeout coffee and vegan treats! Staff are very kind and friendly too. Most pastries are sweet but they have a bacon egg and cheese croissant for $9. It’s a great café to grab a quick coffee and snack and then head to Domino Park to enjoy it. Staff are always very kind and friendly too."

Alysha Carson - "I've been to Guevaras a few times now and absolutely LOVE their food. As a vegetarian is hard to find good vegan/vegetarian options and Guevaras is the perfect spot for that. The staff are friendly and I love the little plant and candles shop inside. Definitely bring friends here every time they're in town!"
