Event Description
Join the Wandering Jews of Astoria (WJOA) for this day trip out of Queens. We will explore a NEW section of the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail, walking from Irvington to Tarrytown (approximately 3 miles) with the option to extend to Sleepy Hollow’s famous Old Style Horseman Bridge (another 2.5–3 miles returning to Phillipse Manor or Tarrytown Metro-North stations). The trail is mostly flat, but unpaved, and accessible by public transportation (Metro-North and Westchester buses) at multiple points, so it is easy to make your own walk shorter or longer.
The group will meet at the Harlem 125th Street Metro-North Station at 11:15am to take the 11:33am train to Irvington. Alternatively, you can get on the same train leaving Grand Central at 11:23am or meet us in Irvington at 12:15pm. We will eat lunch together in Irvington before beginning our walk. Those who head directly back to the city from Tarrytown will return to 125th St between 3pm and 3:30pm; those who continue on to the Horseman Bridge will return to 125th street between 4pm and 5pm. RSVP to Laura if you are interested in joining. Here is the Facebook event.
