The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Greenwich Village
Commonly known as “the Village” to New Yorkers, it was here in Greenwich Village that both 1960’s counter culture and the LGBT movement were born. Famous for its bohemian past, head to Washington Square Park to get a feel for this diverse and energetic neighbourhood. You’ll find NYU students, street performers, skateboarders, kids frolicking in the fountain, and locals relaxing and playing chess. Stroll the streets to discover a mix of majestic town homes and hidden bars and restaurants that give this neighbourhood an old-school residential feel. When the sun goes down, check out one of the famous jazz or comedy clubs that still packs them in every night.

The High Line on Manhattan’s Lower West Side is an elevated linear city park. The park is repurposed from former rail road track. The walking paths are remodeled with flower beds and benches for the weary.

What a unique and cool attracion. The high line was a railroad line that had bene abandoned for many years and was then turned into a park. And what a park it is. You can still some of the tracks preserved into the artwork of this park.
I went here alone and took a peaceful walk along the entire length of the park. I'd recommend every tourist do the same.

We loved the High Line. Had different views of New York without the traffic. Plenty of places to stop and sit. Well worth a visit.

I love the idea of the high line. Plenty of places to sit without the stress of the cars. It was really busy though!

Missed seeing this last trip to NYC 12 years ago, and it was worth the wait! We took the free tour on Saturday morning, don't know what more a paid tour could offer. The HL was also a convenient path to take when it was on the way and beat surface streets and traffic lights. It was Memorial Day weekend, so it was crowded, but still very enjoyable. Don't miss it!

It was a nice long walk! Beautiful with lots of plants on the sides of track. Lots of interesting buildings on the sides of track. Lots of places to sit down and take a break. Really enjoyed it

The Highline was packed shoulder to shoulder when we strolled it on Memorial Day weekend. The tide of humanity was awful. The walk can be nice on a lousy day (if you like rain, which I do), but even then the views are not really that spectacular. Some interesting stuff at the north end of the walk: the Shed, a beautiful fake red tree, and something called the Edge, a fascinating viewing platform ($41 entry fee)

Although crowded, still very pleasant! Loved it, and plan to return. The overlook views, the plantings, the pathways, everything.

Walk towards it. It roughly parallels 10th Ave, and is between 13th st and 30th st. Look for overhead line in greenish gray support strxr. You can climb stairs acess it every block or two. You can incorporate a visit to Meatpacking District, Circle Line Tours, Hudson Yards upscale shopping mall or Chelsea Mkt and breakfast or see old dock where Titanic survivors diembarked from the Carpathea.

Ciao, visiterò new york ad agosto, ci sono zone d'ombra oppure è in pieno sole?

Alcuni spazi all'ombra ci sono.... ma gran parte e' al sole. Ti consiglio sicuramente di andarci la sera a fare una passeggiata. Considera pero' che a una certa ora viene chiusa, mi pare alle 23. 00.

One end of Highline is near the 14th and the other end 30th. After you get off you have to walk west a few blocks. Enjoy.
