Overview

Registration is requested on Meetup by clicking on the Register Now link above in order to manage group size and ensure a safe and fun hike. On this urban hike in the Northern section of Astoria in Queens, you will see a number of historic sites and impressive mansions. We will also spend some time walking in Astoria Park, and Socrates Sculpture Park, where you can walk off the calories gained by eating some pastries in the great bakeries we pass. We end near the Noguchi Museum at around 4 PM, and for those who may wish to go, it's open until 5, with an admission fee. Please consider that this urban hike is not suitable for slow walkers who may not be able to keep up or stay with the group. We will walk at a steady, brisk pace over a distance of around 4.5 miles, stopping at places of interest. There will be no lunch stop, so bring some snacks along if you wish. (This hike is intended for adults 18 years and older and please no dogs). Precipitation, as well as potentially unsafe ground conditions from ice or snow, or even questionable forecast may cancel, postpone or modify; check website for latest updates. We meet at Green Bay Organic Foods at 31-14 30th Ave. in Astoria, Queens at 12:30. To get there take the N train to 30th Ave. and leave the station at the Southeast exit.
