One of our favorite things to do in the summer is spend the day at the Hudson River Park. Join us for an afternoon picnic, and take advantage of what the park has to offer:
--Free kayaking!
--Rollerblading along the scenic boardwalk
--Jogging or walking down to Battery Park
--Suntanning on the piers
--People watching
There are also tennis courts, miniature golf, a batting cage, helicopter rides, ferry rides, water taxis, volleyball, eco-playgrounds, and fishing...all in New York City, with views of the Empire State building and the Statue of Liberty!
We will be camped out on the pier with our bathing suits and some snacks. Please bring something to share. There are tons of take-out places, grocery stores, and bodegas on the way to the pier. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed.
Cancelled in case of rain.

Harvest on Hudson
914-478-2800
One River Street
Hastings-on-Hudson, New York 10706
We have included driving directions in our official invitations. If you are taking the Metro North train from Grand Central Station, here is some important info:
--There is a train that leaves from Grand Central Station at 10:20am and arrives at Hastings-on-Hudson at 10:59am. This will give you sufficient time to walk from the train to the venue and arrive before the ceremony. Coffee and tea service will be provided.
--Tickets are $6.50 one way ($13.00 round trip) Off Peak. You should purchase tickets from one of the machines at the train station. You can also buy them on board, but they are much more expensive.
--The venue is a 5-10 minute walk from the train station. Ideally, you should sit toward the front of the train. When you exit the train, you will walk up a set of stairs and cross a bridge. You will see a sign pointing you in the direction of Harvest on Hudson.
--There is a train that leaves at 4:23pm from Hastings and arrives at Grand Central at 5:07pm. This will give you a couple hours to freshen up for the After Party!!
