Wednesday Lunch Hike

Selected By: Sidney G

“Always good to check the above address.”

Please CLICK HERE before rsvping.

Each Wednesday we will meet for a 1.5-2.0 hour hike near a great lunch place t hat we would not go with a large group. We will eat before we hike unless otherwise stated. If you know of a great high quality place to eat, please email me.

This Week :

• Syrenka Luncheonette Helps if you speak Polish! Perogies, potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage and more.

CAUTION: If you haven't recently hiked at least 4 miles, then you should first try one of our shorter duration hikes.

Use the address above for the starting point. If you want to carpool or take the train with me from Hill House, email me 3-4 days in advance and receive a reply.

Future Lunch Places : Take a look at my list of lunch places via My Google Maps. Many have ethic food. Most are in Center City, but I made an effort to search the entire area. Most have 4.5 star Google ratings, though lots of good restaurants have lower ratings.

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike (and sometimes bicycle) off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike.

And, we do a lot more than hike; we explore. Whether it be a trail in a park or a back alley in the city, we always look for neat things, and we find them. Did you notice the 25 foot dinosaur made from pink suntan lotion bottles? We take time to appreciate a beautiful tree, a low flying eagle, or a hickory horned devil (look it up). We visit museums, historic houses, bakeries, battleships, and other neat places. We appreciate architecture, sculptures (Philly has more than any other US city, yea!), or whatever we find near our path. After a hike we often eat at a special place. And, we rarely repeat ourselves.

Fearless lost explorers and sidney (fleas) are curious. This group is not for people content to only go down one trail and up another, nor for people happy to take the same or beaten path. This group may also be different because only one person leads hikes, gets folks lost, and does the bulk of administrative work. So, please read on to make sure you want to be a proud flea.
