Due to the closing of St. Francis DeSales school, the Emerald Society had to secure a replacement hall. The new hall is located at the Church of Our Savior at 59 Park ave. (corner of 38th St. and Park Ave.). This is approximately 4 blocks south of Grand Central Station. The parade ends on 86th St and the train to Grand Central Station is at the corner of 86th and Lexington. There will be light snacks and refreshments at the hall for a modest donation. Many people will be staying the night at the Days Inn in North Bergen, NJ. Just minutes to the Lincoln Tunnel. Rates are starting to increase so make your reservations early.
