A pretty day in NYC! Want something fun to do? My good friend Jill choose the high line walk on her birthday! I'm so happy she asked me and a few friends to join her and afterward for a wonderful lunch at Craft, Tom Colecchio's restaurant.
Enjoy the photos
The High Line is a public park
built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on
Manhattan’s West Side. It is owned by the City of New York, and
maintained and operated by Friends of the High Line.
Founded in 1999 by
community residents,
Friends of the High Line fought for the High Line’s preservation and transformation
at a time when the historic structure was under the threat of demolition. It
is now the non-profit conservancy working with the New York City Department of
Parks and Recreation to make sure the High Line is
maintained as an extraordinary public space for all visitors to enjoy. In
addition to overseeing maintenance, operations,and
public programming for the park, Friends of the High Line works to raise
the essential
private funds to support more than 90 percent of the park’s annual
operating budget, and to advocate for the preservation and
transformation of the High
Line at the Rail Yards, the third and final section of the historic
structure, which runs between West 30th and West 34th
Streets.
The
High Line is located on Manhattan's West Side. It runs from Gansevoort Street
in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street,
between 10th and 11th
Avenues.
The first section of the High Line opened on June 9, 2009. It
runs from Gansevoort Street to West 20th
Street. The second section, which runs between West 20th and West 30th Streets,
opened June 8, 2011.
The High Line is open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM
daily.
