The High Line
The High Line: Unusal Streets, Stories and Star-chitects
Service Description
The High Line is unusual. A mile long landscaped park situated on an abandoned elevated rail line on the West Side of Manhattan. But that is not the only unusual thing about this treasure. From its concept in the 1920’s to its eventual abandonment and amazing rebirth, the High Line, the buildings that surround it and the neighborhoods it runs through share one interesting story after another. Join Brad on the High Line as he tells you about the Meatpacking, Chelsea and Hudson Yards neighborhoods below and why this NYC gem is one of the most talked about places in the world. Some of the places you will visit: - The Meatpacking District - A street connected to Moby Dick - Buildings created by “Starchitects” - The Chelsea Market - birthplace of the Oreo - Streets connected to a famous Christmas Story - Former train yards that are now the hottest area in NYC
