As a gardening project, this is mundane. As an experiment in urban redesign, this is fascinating. You do not need to walk the entire length of the High Line to appreciate it. After a while, it becomes a bit repetitive. Try two or three blocks to see an environment that seems totally out of place with its surroundings. The views... More

Do something else! Go to Gansevort street (little 12th) in Meatpacking District and climb the stairs up to this old railway trail which has successfully been converted into a park "trail" all the way to the 30th Street.

Now, we have high enthusiasm for the place and are eager to return so that... More
