Today we visited the High Line Park in New York. The park is about a mile and a half long and runs from below 14th Street to 34th Street in Lower Manhattan. It is a park built on an abandoned elevated railroad track, it is filled with an amazing variety of plants and flowers, and it has access points every two or three blocks.
On the High Line you can walk across lower Manhattan above street level. Vistas open up as you walk along. We did not walk the whole length, but we walked far enough to conclude that this has to be one of the most fascinating urban parks in the U.S. What a concept. New York City deserves a great deal of credit for the High Line.
Sound like a nice trip to the city. Hope they enjoyed it too.
