FreeAdult hike to Paulo's Peak, Greenbelt, Staten Island
Greenbelt Nature Center
A two-hour guided hike for adults through the Greenbelt, the large forested park in the middle of Staten Island. The group sets off from the Greenbelt Nature Center, follows the rustic trails to the high point known as Paulo's Peak and returns the same way. The listing asks for sturdy shoes or boots because the paths are rough, and it does not mention any registration, so it appears to be a straightforward turn-up event. The Open Data record shows no charge. The walk happens on a Thursday late morning in the middle of the autumn colour season, and a hiking group is one of the simplest ways to meet people while doing something active, since you have a shared pace and plenty to point out along the way. Pack water and a layer. «Greenbelt Adult Hike - Paulo’s Peak» Starts 11:00, ends about 13:00. Source: NYC Parks — NYC Open Data (Parks Public Events).

FreeAir-pruned raised beds workshop at Snug Harbor, Staten Island
Snug Harbor Cultural Center
A hands-on gardening workshop at Snug Harbor on Staten Island, run with the Cornell Small Farms Program, about air-pruned raised beds, a modular way of raising seedlings that works in a city yard as well as on a farm and needs only modest start-up costs. This is the second session of a series, but it is open to anyone, not only to people who came to the first. The agenda covers harvesting and planting seedlings, putting the beds to rest for winter with or without seeds in them, collecting and storing seed, and planning a small growing enterprise; earlier topics such as bed design, materials, growing media and seed sources get a short recap. Registration is through the Snug Harbor website, and the session lasts two hours on a Thursday afternoon. «Air Pruned Raised Bed Session 2 with Cornell Small Farms Program» Starts 13:00, ends about 15:00.

FreePublic gallery tour at Glyndor Gallery, Wave Hill, the Bronx
Glyndor Gallery, Wave Hill
Wave Hill, the public garden above the Hudson in the Bronx, runs short drop-in tours of the exhibitions in its Glyndor Gallery, and this Thursday afternoon tour covers the shows currently on view. The gallery programme looks at how nature, culture and place relate, with work by both emerging and established artists shown in the setting of a garden. Volunteer Gallery Greeters lead the walk-through, which takes about forty-five minutes and also visits the smaller Sunroom Project Space. The listing says no registration is needed, so you can simply turn up at two o'clock. The gallery level is reached by an elevator and a ground-level entrance. A guided look at an exhibition is a gentle way to meet other visitors and talk about what you see, whether or not you know much about contemporary art. «Public Gallery Tour» Starts 14:00, ends about 14:45.

FreeHigh Line architecture and design tour, Manhattan
The High Line
A specialist walking tour of the High Line, the elevated park built on a disused railway on Manhattan's West Side. This session concentrates on architecture and landscape design rather than the general highlights. A volunteer High Line docent, named in the listing as Bridget Gramling for this date, leads the group for about ninety minutes and talks through the engineering feats of the old rail line, the hundreds of unusual proposals that came in during the open ideas competition for its future, and the principles that shaped the finished park. It suits anyone curious about how a city reuses its infrastructure, and a guided group gives you an easy way to start conversations while you walk. The Open Data record shows no charge. It is an evening tour on a Thursday, so wrap up warm. «Spotlight tour: Architecture & Design» Starts 17:30, ends about 19:00. Source: NYC Parks — NYC Open Data (Parks Public Events).

FreeQueer and Jewish in the «Third Reich»: talks evening, Mitte Museum
Mitte Museum
An evening of four talks and a conversation at the Mitte Museum in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen about Jewish-queer life stories. Holocaust research has usually placed persecuted queer people in one category and Jewish victims in another; this event presents lives that were both, from the painter Gertrude Sandmann, who survived in Berlin, to the realities of gay and lesbian Jews in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Speakers include Paige Harouse and Hani Esther Indictor Portner, who talks about Karl M. Baer, the first trans man known to have had gender-affirming surgery. The museum lists admission as free. A second evening follows on 5 November. The talks are in German. «Queer und jüdisch im "Dritten Reich" und darüber hinaus: Vier Vorträge und ein Gespräch» Starts 18:00, ends about 21:00.

The talk echoes the exhibition L'Écologie des choses, shown at the centre in 2025, which connected contemporary artists to the Mono-ha movement. Entry is free but booking is required through the centre's ticketing page. The lecture is in French and is aimed at young people and adults.
