Class meets on Monday, November 10, at 9:40 am at the entrance to the Roosevelt Island tramway on 2nd Avenue between 59th and 60th streets in Manhattan.
(To get there, you can take the 4 or 5 train from Grand Central to 59th Street, and then walk east from the station to 2nd Avenue. If you end up walking to the tram from the Williams Club, be sure to bring your Metrocards, which you will need to board the tram.)
We will be taking the 9:45 am tram to Roosevelt Island and using the local Starbucks as our classroom for about half an hour. Then we will walk north along the East River to meet a guest speaker, hydrodynamic engineer Jonathan Colby from Verdant Power, who will be talking to the class about alternative energy generated by the tides in the East River.
