Looking for something out of the ordinary in the Big City? The High Line Park meanders above the West Side affording unusual views of the area. Food stands from local restaurants provide snacks and there are ample spots to stop and relax. Well worth a detour.

We had dinner at Abe & Arthur's and then strolled part of the High Line. It is beautifully landscaped and I liked that the rails were left intact. Gorgeous views!

While I love that the city rennovated this old above ground transit line, I don't get all the excitement. I found it to be disappointing, dare I say.....boring? Perhaps in the future there will be some more interesting landscaping or artwork installed. I just don't get all the hype.

I'm a huge fan of the High Line, especially in the summer when restaurants offer food stands throughout the park. Walking the length of the High Line will provide you with lovely views of the West Side, and I love taking in the wildflowers and other flora that have been planted. The whole park is cleverly designed, and if you... More
