Marco and I went to the High Line yesterday in New York City (which currently runs from 30th street to Gansevoort street on the west side. Yes, Gansevoort. Dutch influence everywhere!)
I am pleased to say that it was a lot of fun and better than we expected. It wasn’t that crowded, although it kind of was at times. But most places weren’t too bad. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is visiting New York City, especially during the warmer period. I am not sure how good it looks during the winter, as so much of it is plant based.

- South entrance to High LIne (Gansevoort Street)

- It was amazing how much seating the High Line has… there is more than enough for everyone.

- Old railroad tracks peeking through (which is the style throughout)
-
- I liked two buildings (left & middle) in the background.
-
- You could walk down a level to this large auditorium-style seating area, which overlooks the street.
-
- Chrysler building in the background, at left

- Seating area at left, walkway at right. Grass in the middle (roped off)

-
- Do you think you can fit any more cars?
-
- Interpretation of sailor kissing nurse at the end of World War 2. I say it looks like a foot! (6 toed foot anyway)

- Example of the walkway, surrounded by greenery

- Hint: that’s not a real person in this photo.
