I had my doubts about the over-hyped High Line, but I was pleasantly surprised, even though I still think it does not deserve to be such a major tourist attraction. There are plenty of more important sites in the five boroughs for visitors to experience.
As a New Yorker, however, it was nice to experience the west side from above...

The Friends of the High Line have hit a home run with this fabulous restoration of an abandoned railroad trestle. Landscaped walkways incorporating the natural plant growth in amongst the rails is a great touch and one can walk in this peaceful park and hardly feel like they are in the city. This is a must-visit for anyone wanting a...

A friend told us about the High Line and we are so glad we took the time to walk it. What an absolute gem in the heart of the city. We walked the entire distance and would highly recommend to everyone. Beautiful nature, views of the city, art, people and a surprise at every bend.

The highline is indeed a beautiful walk. you get beautiful views of the city as well. On beautiful days it can get really crowded and take away from the charm.. you may feel like you are navigating your way though a crowded market.

So much fun to walk above street level and see New York from a different perspective. They have transformed old train line into a walk way from Greenwich to Midtown Manhattan with a timber "road" and trees and flowers along the way. It is very pretty and it is free :)

This is a beautifully landscaped walk, 9m above the ground on a disused railway line that used to deliver raw materials to the National Biscuit Factory (amongst other places I'm sure) that is now the Chelsea Market. This market is located on 9th Ave between 15th & 16th Streets and is a good starting or finishing place for the Highline....

We loved walking the Highline- such a refreshing vantage point of Manhattan! We even walked it int he pouring rain, and still enjoyed ourselves! A bit tricky to get on the north end because of construction.

Great view of the city and a clever idea of use for this area! The plants were amazing although I would have appreciated identifications.

A nice walk on a sunny day. We stopped half way through to go to a lovely pub underneath the High Line.
