Unusual square in Manhattan, which is divided into a section of an abandoned railway line. It appeared thanks to the efforts of enthusiastic architects R. Hammond and D. Joshua. They collected donations, developed a project and turned a plain place into a real oasis among the stone jungle. High Line is located at an altitude of 10 meters above the ground, in 2009 it became the second most visited city attraction.

It’s nice to have a nature walk in the heart of a hustling and bustling city. That quench of green space mixed in views of high end real estate. Along the way you see picturesque views as far out as the Statue of Liberty. Along the way are official food stalls with refreshments (juices, snacks, ice cream). My only concern was really having to walk back. Thankfully I detoured and took the C line and transferred to the 1 line.
There are many stops along
the way to rest and just take in the moment of being in New York. I noticed a sort of man
made water spring. Kids and adults were walking in it bare feet to cool off. It’s definitely great addition to New York City and I have yet to see anything like in of the US states I have visited so far.
I couldn’t find the rest room. They mentioned there were restrooms.
Didn’t see anyone with pets.
