The High Line
The High Line is a linear public park on a disused elevated freight viaduct on Manhattan's West Side, opened in sections from 2009 and running from Gansevoort Street to Hudson Yards.
Why it matters
The planting deliberately imitates the self-seeded growth that colonised the viaduct during its twenty-five abandoned years, which is what the campaign to save it was originally about.
Editorial context written by Global City Intelligence, not a statement from the venue.
Good for
- Coffee & walk — A continuous elevated walking route with several stair and lift entrances.
- Outdoor day — Best treated as a linear walk rather than a destination.
