Long Island, New York
Walk. Listen.
Belong.
We put our headphones in and walk together — parks, boardwalks, preserves, beaches. Everyone's listening to a different book. Nobody walks alone.
How it works
Three ways in
Start with a free walk. Stay for everything else.
Weekly walks
Several walks a week across Long Island — state parks, arboretums, boardwalks and beaches. Free, no commitment, come to one or come to all.
Indie bookstore crawls
All-day coach bus trips to independent bookstores. Swag bags, games, karaoke, and a bus full of people who brought a book to a party.
Reading retreats
Weekend getaways with no assigned reading and no discussion questions. Bring whatever's been sitting on your nightstand.
Coming up
On the calendar

A Brooklyn Book Crawl
Long Island, let's go to Brooklyn. Coach bus from LI, a full day of Brooklyn's independent bookstores.
Coming alone? So are most people.
Most of our walkers show up by themselves the first time. You put your headphones in, you walk, and somewhere around the second mile it stops feeling like a first day.
