Janes Walk

SOLD OUT, WAITLIST FULL

Led By Jason Stein

We’re going to walk over a few of the Harlem River Bridges. The bridges include the Third Avenue Bridge, Madison Avenue Bridge, 145th Street Bridge, and Macombs Dam Bridge. We’ll see how things are connected with amazing views of the Harlem River.

We’ll explore the surrounding areas including a street that was once a canal, the J.L. Mott Iron Works, some military heroes including the Harlem Hellfighters, 369th Regiment Armory, a park which used to be an industrial site, a view of Yankee Stadium, the only relic left which connected to the former Polo grounds, and much more.

We’ll be crossing bridges and streets with pedestrian onramps, steps and inclines. This is not wheelchair accessible.
Wear comfortable shoes, bring water and a camera.
Around three miles, maybe a little more. Approx 2.5hrs
