Surf City @ NJ Waterfront

***Time to say goodbye to the summer, almost!*** If the weather stays put, let's do an afternoon near the water - and in NJ! Surf City Bar is ultimate waterfront style bar and restaurant in Jersey *City* with unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline and Liberty Island. **Coming from Manhattan:** Take the PATH (various stops in the city, 33rd - 23rd - 14th +) to Grove Station in Jersey City. Followed by an easy 10-15 walk. I will be leaving from the 23rd PATH stop at around 12:15pm and will wait at the Grove station until 12:40p when I will begin the walk to the restaurant. \*\*I will leave an updated time/location in "Comments" the morning of the event if anyone wants to join me.

A Visit to Central Park

Join us for a leisurely walk around Central Park, where we will take in the beautiful landscape and make a visit to iconic spots in the area. Our meeting location will be a high end cafe called 'Ralph's Coffee', where we shall fuel up on caffeine before our journey. Once the group comes together, we will enter the park at the 72nd St & 5th Ave entrance. Expect to see: the Conservatory Water & Alice Statue, Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, the Beach Volleyball Courts... with our walk concluding at Strawberry Fields. Please make an effort to arrive on time because it will be difficult to find anyone once we enter the park. If you have questions or need to get in contact, my number is 917-769-2168.

Fun & Games at Bohemian Hall

Let's enjoy Saturday, playing games outdoors at Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden in Astoria. Did you know this venue is one of the oldest beer gardens in all of New York (approximately 100 years plus old). I will be sure to have Uno and Jenga available to play. You're encouraged to bring a game that you think the group will enjoy. If you have questions or need to get in contact, I can be reached at 917-769-2168.
