NYC: High Line, Section #1; things to do

High Line, Section #1

Gansevoort St. to 20th St., along 10th Ave., (enter/exit by stairways and elevator at 10th Ave. & Gansevoort; also at 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th sts.), Chelsea-Meatpacking Districts, (212) 500-6035. Daily 7am-11pm. Free.

Make a beeline to the High Line. In the 1930s, trains chugged along this elevated steel trestle. It was abandoned in the 1980s, and a few years ago the track was repurposed as a three-story-high park. It features attractive plantings, wooden benches, and great views of the Hudson River.
