Review:

The High Line is one of Manhattan's newest major attractions, spanning 1.45 miles of elevated linear park and greenway space above the borough's Chelsea and Meatpacking District neighborhoods. The project was inspired by Paris' Promenade Plantée and was designed by architects Piet Oudolf, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and James Corner Field Operations, reimagining a stretch of a former New York Central Railroad viaduct that was formerly known as the West Side Line. It spans from Gansevoort Street to the northern edge of West Side Yard, designed as a living system incorporating elements of ecology, urban design, and landscape architecture. Since its opening in 2009, the High Line has attracted more than five million annual visitors and has reinvigorated nearby real estate and business districts. It is accessible from several points, including an adjoining entrance at Chelsea Market, making it a perfect spot for couples looking to picnic with food purchased at the market.
