How to prepare?

In the event of dangerous weather (thunderstorms with lightning, extreme heat or cold, etc.) the provider will cancel the tour and reschedule you.
Arrival: Plan to arrive 10 minutes in advance.
Parking: It is strongly suggested not to drive to the meeting location, as parking is extremely difficult to find on the streets of NYC, and parking lots in midtown are extremely expensive. The best options to reach the meeting spots on time are either taxi, bus, or subway. All of the meeting spots are easily accessible by mass transit.
What to wear: Athletic clothing and good walking shoes
