Hipster Hash Run Tomorrow

Cougs,

if you're off tomorrow and are looking for some fun and adventure, Jacks and I are planning a Hipster Hash Run through downtown Manhattan and Williamsburg (natch). If we were really hip, we'd be doing it as a fixed gear bicycle race in Bushwick, but we can only dream.

Starting location is the Stumptown Coffee in the uber-hip Ace Hotel on 29th between Broadway and 5th Avenue, a location so decidedly un-hip, that oh yes, it's hip. Fuel up on single origin espresso while admiring the antique-y decor and chatting up the bespoke fedora sporting baristas. From there we'll wind our way through the East side of downtown (you know, the hip areas), and across the Williamsburg bridge, with a final stretch leading to McCarren Park, finishing up with lunch at one of the many hip and tasty eateries in the area.

If you're up for the run, bring some cash, your metrocard, and an appetite. The run as planned is about 5.5 miles, with stops along the way for refueling. We plan on meeting at 9am, and will probably end up at McCarren Park around 11:30 or noon.

Any Williamsburgers want to meet up at McCarren Park for some pick-up soccer after the run?

Feel free to join at any point, invite friends, etc.

Meeting Location: Stumptown Coffee, 20 West 29th Street, in the Ace Hotel between Broadway and 5th Ave
Time: 9am
Duration: 2.5-3 hours
Destination: Williamsburg
Distance: 5.5 miles
Phone: (917) 686-5059

Enjoy your holiday tomorrow, whatever you may have planned!
