East River Walk

Janes Walk

Led By Lori Skopp

Explore the East River neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens. We will start our walk by crossing the Queensboro (59th Street) bridge on the new, somewhat hard-to-find pedestrian path. From there we will continue South through the neighborhoods of Long Island City, Greenpoint, and Williamsburg. Finally, we will arrive at the Williamsburg Bridge, which we will cross to return to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, ending our tour. The tour is mostly physical (many miles) and visual (many photo ops)!

Accessibility

Walk is at least six miles and requires good walking shoes, water, hat, and snacks. Beginning and end points are near subway stations. There are subway stations, Citibike, etc., and NYC Ferry along the way, for anyone who gets tired or doesn't have the time. The walk might last more than two hours, depending on group pace.

Location Information

RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
