• The “Hudson Heights” (blue) and <strong>YU</strong> (Green)<br />
eruvim border each other, thus you can carry<br />
between the two eruvim. For more information<br />

• The Fort Tryon buildings north of 192nd Street<br />

from Broadway, since the building itself forms the<br />
eastern wall of the eruv.
