NYC Walk: Hudson River Greenway
--arranged and lead by Warren Jahn--
Monday August 10, 2026
Rain/Excessive Heat Date: Monday August 17, 2026
Spouses, Significant Others, and Guests Welcome!
Our August walk reprises our very first walk. But instead of walking south, we will start at Battery Park and walk north along the Hudson River through the string of waterfront parks to Hudson Yards. Along the way we will encounter the World Financial Center, Battery Park City, Little Island, and Chelsea Piers.

Meet on the platform in Westport or find your own way to the clock at Grand Central. Scheduled arrival at Grand Central is 9:43 AM.
IMPORTANT!

Please tell Warren if you will not be on the train; plan to arrive at the Grand Central clock by 9:45 AM.

From Grand Central we will take the #4 or #5 subway to Bowling Green. Our walk will follow the Hudson River Greenway/Empire State Trail north along the waterfront to 42nd Street.
