Hopping from one viewing spot to the next is possible if you plan in advance, utilize the subways (visit the MTA website at www.mta.info), and don’t mind walking quickly (or even jogging a bit) to stay on schedule. If you’re planning to watch one or more runners, make sure to communicate with them in advance to discuss their wave start time, expected pace per mile, and where you plan to be on race day. Sign up for Athlete Alert on October 20th to receive updates to your cell phone every 5K, and every mile from 16 to the finish, on the progress of up to 10 runners. Alternatively, you can ask your runner(s) to pick up extra pace bands at the ING DIRECT booth at the marathon expo. Review the arrival times chart here and the course map here to determine your schedule. Don’t forget to communicate which side of the street you will be on—left or right, from the runner’s perspective.... 14332@http://whatsupnyc.com/blog/ Today 2008-11-02T00:30:37-05:00 http://whatsupnyc.com/blog/archives/cat_art_events.php 1-4pm Milton Rosa-Ortiz, Christopher Russell, Christian Nguyen, Maria Martinez-Canas, Andrew Cooks In Response: Summer Projects at Wave Hill, 675 West 252nd Street, Bronx,... 13590@http://whatsupnyc.com/blog/ Art Events 2008-06-15T00:00:50-05:00 http://whatsupnyc.com/blog/archives/cat_art_events.php 30th Annual Museum Mile Festival The Annual Museum Mile Festival has taken place for the past 29 years.
