Janes Walk

Led By Majora Carter, Real Estate Developer

We meet up and end at the Boogie Down Grind, the cafe TimeOutNY named Best in The City and winner of Al Fresco NY Award for excellent outdoor seating. It’s decorated from top to bottom with the signage and imagery from the birth of Hip Hop, along with excellent coffees, teas local beers on tap and sangria, and delicious food.

Then it’s a short walk to Bronxlandia, the Cass Gilbert designed rail station turned concert hall – still in transition, rough around the edges, and very cool.

From there we walk up the Manida St Historic District, pass by the Corpus Christi monastery on our way to the Rudy Briner Award winning Hunts Point Riverside Park.

After that it’s back to the Grind for refreshments and bathroom. Along the way, we will see some amazing murals and other public art.
