Reason # 2 to go to the NYC Worldwide Lyme Rally! More ON Lyme Rally - Good EATS! And Travel!
by OptiMisTick
Here's another reason to go to the NY Rally!!
On that Friday, the Union Square Greenmarket will be there on the North and West Sides of Union Square park.
Think a fun flea market, craft fair, and produce market all combined into one with an international variety of foods available!!!
(think brunch items BEFORE the Rally and after! I personally am a sucker for Funnel Cakes!)
The Lyme Rally will be located at the South Plaza of the square, closest to 14th Street and Union Square West (those are streets).
Here's a tantalizing bit on Union Square and it's attractions - note - the LymeNet woudl not enable the web address with parentheses in it so go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Square_ and click on the New York link for Union Square
and here's a thumbnail on the GreenMarket held there. http://www.grownyc.org/greenmarket-site/manhattan/union-square-greenmarket
To get there once in NYC, You can take 4,5,6 Subway train from Grand Central Station (42nd Street near Park Avenue) – Subway number 4 or 5 it's one stop downtown. Or #6 it's 4 stops going downtown.
Personally, I am a BUS kind of Gal and the buses will get you on even if you are disabled! They even "kneel" or fold out a ramp!
BUSES: see map at http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/manbus.pdf
Note on NYC streets: In NY City - For the most part, Streets run East and West. Avenues generally run North and South. In Manhattan, you are either East or West of Broadway, New York City's main street
Port Authority Bus Terminal (if coming to NYC by bus to there) is at 42nd Street and 8th Avenue. To go by NYC bus to Rally you could walk down 42nd Street to Fifth Avenue or you could take the 42/M42 bus over to Fifth Avenue and transfer (to below).
From 42nd Sreet and Fifth Avenue, for example, you would take the 1, 2, 3 or 5 bus (M1, M2, M3 or M5) DOWNtown (one way street) and get as close to Union Square as you can, then walk over (the park is between 17th Street and 14th Street - ask the driver where to get off for 14th street).
At the end of the day you would want to go UPtown by catching the 1, 2 or 3 buses on Park Avenue, which is on the opposite side of the Park. This would take you back to 42nd Street.
If coming by train, into Penn Station, I would still walk over to Fifth Avenue, then proceed as above.
Reduced Fare, Subways and Buses, for Disability or 65 years and older: http://www.mta.info/accessibility/transit.htm
Subways - see map at http://www.mta.info/maps/submap.html

Fare Options http://www.mta.info/fares/
PATH Trains also come from NJ into NYC and one stop is at 14th Street! See http://www.panynj.gov/path/
AMTRAK comes from many states except Long Island and regional NY) into Penn Station at 34th Street and 7th Avenue. (Long Island and regional NY train folks go into Grand Central)
All in all the transportation system in NYC is good.
They've also just approved a SmartPhone way to call taxis, besides standing at the curb with raised arm.
See http://www.yellowcabnyc.com/
Just to keep you all Up-to-Date~!
Easy to get there to the Rally, and Lovely Food and other vendors once you DO get there (come early and EAT!!)
Then a lovely rally with speakers from several states!! See the list at:
http://nyclymerally.blogspot.com/
"What a variety of speakers, all with important messages for us and for the World concerning the International Health Crisis of Lyme Disease.
How grateful we all are that they are standing in Unity with us for the Tri-State Lyme MayDay 2013!!
BE THERE and know that you were a part of it Forever After!
Good Luck on your Lyme Journey!

Reason # 1 to go the NYC Worldwide Lyme Awareness Rally
NJ and other states' are involved in and participating, as in the past, in the NY Lyme Rally event on May 10, as in the past, so as to concentrate attendance. FABULOUS Speakers!
This is a part of an international series of rallies for Lyme disease going on in many countries.
DETAILS:
Friday May 10, from 12 noon to 4 PM, in Union Square, NYC
(this should be a fun event, the Union Square market will also be ongoing at the same time - fun to wander over there before and after!)
Lyme folks and friends are encouraged, from all from states close to NYC, to turn out in NY as we have done in the past.
Union Square, the site of the Rally, is readily available by public transportation.
NJ folks, together with those of other states, have a long history of participatory co-activism together, going back to the 90s, something that many folks new to the Lyme community may be unaware of, although many of you more experienced folks have been there with us various times.
Most people are aware of the many rallies and events held over the years on behalf of Lyme Activism in NJ and surrounding states and the adventure continues.
I do recognize and thank the many Lyme folks who have turned out in the past - hired buses - or come by trains, planes and automobiles (name of a movie!) to attend and Rally for the Lyme Causes over the years.
Now there is another such event on the near Horizon. So many speakers, physicians and others, to hear!
I look forward to seeing you all there, no matter what you have to do to get there (I may be crawling off that public bus, personally).
