When a good friend comes to town, one of my favorite go-to activities is picking up the Highline on 30th and 10th street and heading down to the Meatpacking District for a little window shopping and some lunch at Chelsea Market. The Highline is a former lifted freight line that had been targeted for demolition until a community-based non-profit group recognized its potential as a public green space. It has since become a popular outdoor activity, granting New Yorker’s a blissful bucolic space with fantastic city views.
Enjoy the pics and See You in the City!
The cool thing about the Highline is that it winds through buildings and the small spaces between them, giving you a completely different view of the three neighborhoods through which it passes: Hell’s Kitchen, West Chelsea and the Meatpacking District.

My sister, Marcia, and I had a perfect fall day to walk the Highline on Oct 25th. What a treat. I was in New York for my one year follow up on getting my new titanium knees. It was great to walk the entire Highline without any sign of knee pain. When your Mom comes to visit after her recovery, this is the perfect place to meet and show off our new athletic capabilities!
Dora, that is quite a test drive on your new knee! You walked 1.5 miles. I will have to tell Mom and plan that for her visit, too. Great suggestion 🙂
