The High Line

Yesterday I visited The High Line, the newly opened park on the old elevated railroad on the west side of Manhattan. Right now it runs from about 13th Street to 20th Street, but will extend much further uptown.

The southern entrance to the High Line.

They incorporated vegetation - trees, plants, and flowers - with old train tracks and rails.

It's a great area, with benches and lawn chairs all along, and a view of the Hudson River. It also runs through buildings, and there are a few metal tables and chairs to sit on. It's a very interesting amalgamation of urban architecture and park greenery. Go take a stroll if you're in the area!
