Welcome to my staying in the Big Apple snapshots photojournal. This album – A day in New York: HighLine Park – is dedicated to an enchanting elevated and long garden/park, made out of a abandoned train line: the last train ran in early 1980, seemingly carrying a freight of frozen turkeys.

The garden literally cuts through the buildings, featuring wildflowers, native greenery, benches and outdoor art installations; in addition to some special views of New York’s skyline. It’s the perfect spot for a meditative morning walk, as for meeting friends, or simply enjoy the view. Here’s the map of the park.

The urban playground covers from West 29th / 10th Avenue (near Hudson Yards) to Gansevoort Street / Washington Street where:
“This dramatic balcony marks the point where the southern end of the High Line was severed in the 80s, making way for apartments in the former Manhattan Refrigerating Warehouse. It’s east of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the offices of Friends of the High Line.” (from HighLine Park Features)

Besides the Whitney, are fun to tour also the Chelsea Piers and the Chelsea Market, excellent stop for munchies. In any case, the HighLine it’s worth a visit, no matter the time of year.
Here’s the timeline of the HighLine rails. It all started in the Mid-1800s with the demands to deliver food to Lower Manhattan.
Soon a photo gallery dedicated to this gret walk… Stay tuned!
