Plans

• A nice, convenient hash in the Bronx! The plan is to meet up at 11:30pm and get a midnight hash! -- Elipongo (talk) 22:01, 20 June 2015 (EDT)

Expedition

A Saturday hash in the five boroughs! In the South Bronx just a few blocks from the 2 & 5 trains at The Hub (the Times Square of the Bronx).

It being the day before the summer solstice, Elias couldn't get there until late because of Shabbos ending so late. Jack suggested an 11:30pm meetup and making a midnight achievement of it.

Elias got off to a late start, but otherwise had an uneventful ride on the 1 & 2 trains and arrived by the hash just before midnight -- unfortunately his phone was being balky; showing him on the wrong side of the street and refusing to take a screenshot until it was restarted.

The neighborhood is a working class place with cheerful music playing right by the major shopping district that is The Hub.

Jack arrived and together Elias and he snapped some pictures, then hustled back to the subway before the rain started.

  Made it before midnight, but my phone refused to take the screenshot until I restarted it! I'm on the north side of the street despite the GPS showing me on the south side.
