On Sat­ur­day, May 4 and Sun­day, May 5, thou­sands of New York­ers will come together for Jane’s Walk NYC – a week­end series of 100+ FREE guided walks (and bike rides!) through­out New York’s five bor­oughs. Reg­is­tra­tion is NOT required.  Whether you choose to stroll through neigh­bor­hoods you love or dis­cover new neigh­bor­hoods you’ve never vis­ited, you’ll enjoy this inter­na­tional pro­gram cre­ated to com­mem­o­rate the life and legacy of urban­ist Jane Jacobs. Scroll down to view the walk sched­ule. For more infor­ma­tion: http://​mas​.org/​p​r​o​g​r​a​m​s​/​j​a​n​e​s​w​a​l​k​n​yc/

Tips and Impor­tant Information

  • The dead­line to sub­mit a walk is Fri­day, April 26th at 6:00 PM.
  • Walk leader infor­ma­tion ses­sions will be held in the MAS offices on Thurs­day, April 11 at 6:00 PM and Mon­day, April 15 at 1:00 PM.  To RSVP for a ses­sion, email janeswalknyc@​mas.​org with your pre­ferred date.
  • You may choose to start your walk at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 6:00 PM or 9:00 PM.
  • Lead­ers are strongly encour­aged to lead their walks twice over the course of the weekend.
  • Your walk must be at least 30 minutes.
  • Plan to arrive a few min­utes early for your walk at the designed meet­ing location.
  • Meet­ing places can be located using Google Maps, and the MTA Trip Plan­ner is help­ful for tran­sit information.
  • All Jane’s Walks NYC will pro­ceed rain or shine.
  • Check your walk list­ings before depart­ing on Sat­ur­day and Sun­day in case there are any last-minute changes.
  • Join mul­ti­ple walks in one day and through­out the weekend.
  • Ask ques­tions and offer insights–Jane’s Walk works best when there is a friendly dia­logue through­out.  Intro­duce your­self to other walk­ers, vol­un­teers and hosts. Be curi­ous! Every­one host­ing a Jane’s Walk is a vol­un­teer and pas­sion­ate about the city we love.
  • Fol­low the action and join the con­ver­sa­tion on Twit­ter using #janeswalknyc.  Also, be sure to take pic­tures and upload them to our Flickr group, and share your pho­tos and thoughts on our Face­book page.
  • Wear sen­si­ble shoes and dress appro­pri­ately for the weather. Jane’s Walks vary–some are just one building’s inte­rior; while some are a solid two hours and 40 blocks long.
  • Bring friends and fam­ily to enjoy this spe­cial weekend!
