VCNY July Schmooze—Picnic in the Park
Event Details
Summer’s here and the Schmoozing is easy ☀️
Join the Vassar Club of New York for an outdoor picnic Schmooze from 2:00–4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 12 in Prospect Park near the Picnic House. We’ll be spreading out on the grass with blankets, good vibes, and a few shared snacks.
This is a BYOB (bring your own beverage) event. We’ll bring a few snacks, but feel free to bring something yummy to share! Here are FAQs about what is allowed in New York City parks.
The closest subway stations are:
- F/G to 7th Avenue
- 2/3/4 to Grand Army Plaza
- B/Q to Prospect Park
Prospect Park is wheelchair-accessible, though the exact picnic spot may not be fully accessible depending on ground conditions.
Tag us @VCNY and #VCNY to share your park day photos and picnic fits!
