Walk the West Side (Fall Celebration)

  • American Merchant Mariner’s Memorial Battery Place New York, NY United States (map)

Let's get together and walk the length of Manhattan along the Hudson River from Battery Park with views of the Statue of Liberty all the way to Inwood Hill Park where Manhattan meets the Harlem River. There we’ll finish with a bite at Inwood Farm Restaurant.

This Meetup is Free to all (but donations are accepted), so come and let’s walk together!


Walking is a fundamental human movement for which, as a society, we are losing our capacity. Long distance walking is a skill of its own that can be mastered through practice. Sure, in Manhattan, we walk all the time! But how we walk, can either lead to more pain and discomfort or to more ease and joy of movement. So, let's take a walk, and we can talk about variables of walking gait, restorative exercises to help us along, and how shoes affect all of this.

The whole distance is about 13.5 miles and may take around 5-6 hours (depending on our pace).

Feel free to start with us and end at any point you choose, or you can even opt to join us as we make our way up. We'll take breaks along the way and will have a longer break at "pier i cafe" near 72nd street.
At the end, we can celebrate with a bite or a drink at “Inwood Farm”

Be sure to bring water and optionally bring a second pair of shoes to relieve tired feet !
