New York's High Line

The High Line, near Chelsea and Greenwich Village, is as useful as it is unusual. Built in the early 1930s as an elevated train line, it opened in 2009 as pedestrian green space in the midst of one of the world's busiest urban destinations.

Dotted with art and native gardens, the High Line boasts easy access to several employers along its 1.5-mile route, starting at Gansevoort St. and ending at West 34th. It's free and open to the public during its operating hours (7 a.m. to 7-11 p.m. depending on season), and public programs are even available to High Line users, art enthusiasts and families.

We walked the High Line during the summer of 2018, and this is a sight we'll revisit if we make it back to NYC.
