The Highline

Location: 
Above Washington St. and Tenth Ave. from Gansevoort St. to 20th Street

Getting there: 
Take the C or E Subway to 23rd Street or the A, C, E or L Subway to 14th Street.

The Experience:
An abandoned stretch of elevated railroad track serves as a pedestal for what is certainly one of the most unique public parks anywhere. From this mile-and-a-half-long oasis of trees, grass and flowers, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the busy Hudson River, the meat packing district, warehouses and of course, that famous skyline. From this tranquil perch, the wonderful chaos of New York is close enough to reach out and touch. Come and enjoy the paradox. Bring lunch. Learn more at www.thehighline.org.
