NYC Afternoon Hiking Group Website
We'll be doing a zigzag path from Herald Square down to Battery Park, through as much greenery and interesting sights as possible. Afterward we'll go a short distance to a BBQ restaurant in the financial district that does separate checks.
We'll take a group photo at Battery Park then another in the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, at which point the hike will end and those interested will continue about 4 blocks to the restaurant.
Subway stops near the end are Whitehall on the R/W, Staten Island Ferry on the 1, and Bowling Green on the 4/5.
Macy's has several entrances -- we'll be at the chairs and tables in Herald Square, just north of the main entrance to Macy's, which is on Broadway halfway between 34th & 35th Streets. There are restrooms available at Macy's in the basement -- the women's room is in the northeast corner, and the men's room is in the middle of the southern edge of the basement.
