Bryant Park Winter Wonderland - Veg*n Dinner & Holiday Visit
Bryant Park, West 42nd Street and 6th Avenue, New York, NY, 10036, United States
I may be somewhat partial, however, there’s no place like New York City during the holiday season. During this annual festive period, the streets and shops are buzzing, the ice skating rinks are filled with figure eights, arabesques and camel spins, while onlookers cozy together sipping on hot chocolate or mulled hot apple cider.
At Bryant Park you may witness such events and perhaps even partake in them. The park is set up like a fairytale winter wonderland, with a sparkling tree, a delightful skating rink, beautiful holiday decorations everywhere, and holiday, artist and food vendors in charming kiosks throughout the park — these do beautifully add to the holiday spirit of the place, you will see (while you are sipping on your hot apple cider with cinnamon stick).
We will check out beautiful Bryant Park, order dinner from the vegan-friendly food vendors, sit by the ice skating rink, and take in the delightful atmosphere.
**Where To Meet: We will meet at 6:45pm right on the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Ave (the Bryant Park corner of this street intersection).** I (David Greene) am 6′ 4″ will be holding a sign that says “VEG MEETUP”. **We’ll be waiting on the corner till just 7:00pm, so don’t be late!** At 7:00pm we will enter the park.
Come join us for this delightful evening.

Vegan Trekkers: Jan 1 hike to Harpers Ferry
Gathland State Park Parking Lot, Brunswick, MD, 21758, us
Let’s make 2024 an active year by starting it with a hike to Harpers Ferry from Gathland State Park.
This is a one way hike – we will start at Gathland State park and make our way to Harpers Ferry (route below). We will be coming back to the starting point by car. To make this work, few of us will meet us at the end (Harpers Ferry) at 9:30. We will leave few cars at the ending point and car pool to the start point.
The 9.8-mile stretch of Appalachian Trail leading from Crampton’s Gap to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, is one of the most popular and rewarding AT day hikes in this region, and with good reason. This hike features a secluded forest ridge top, an exhilarating vista pitching straight down into the Potomac River, and the historic Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal Towpath. Crossing the Potomac from Maryland into West Virginia, we pass from the Northern states into the Southern, from the Union into the Confederacy, from one culture and climate into another. We will hike the trail from north to south so the hiking is fairly easy with minimal climbing.
Trail head Meeting Point : [Gathland State Park](https://maps.app.goo.gl/x2g6E2kCZNNHn4GCA)
Distance: ~10 miles – [hike route](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nKvm5HyuCMUfHNKc7)
Trail head meeting time: 10:00am
Pace: moderate (3 miles/hr)
Difficulty: moderate
Duration: 4 hours
Type of trail: natural
Route Type: Point-to-Point (we will have shuttle service)
If you are up for car shuttling then please let me know. For car shuttling:
Meeting and parking point: [Harpers Ferry train station](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rR38GpQT1x2EN4JS6)
Please note that the train station parking is not free.
Meeting time: 9:30am
Since this is a point to point hike, we need an accurate head count. Please RSVP only if you will be attending. No-shows will not be tolerated.
Please do not attend if you are sick or have been near someone who thinks they may have or have been exposed to COVID-19.
Dog friendly?: Yes. Please keep your dog leashed at all times.
Food/Water: Bring your own vegan snack and (non-alcoholic) beverage to enjoy. Please carry plenty of water!
Weather: Be prepared! We will hike rain or shine, but if conditions pose a danger, we’ll cancel the hike and post a notice in the “comments” section. We suggest that hikers wear comfortable footwear and suitable clothing made from quick-dry, synthetic fabrics, as cotton can lead to uncomfortable blisters and life-threatening hypothermia in case of inclement weather.

*When you sign up to join a hike you automatically acknowledge
