High Line Boardwalk — Attraction in New York

Walking the High Line from start to finish was one of the most enjoyable experiences we had in New York.

Every visit feels unique, with ever-changing art installations, vibrant gardens, and unexpected viewpoints that keep the...

The High Line Boardwalk access off 34th St is currently closed. Can enter/exit the boardwalk as high as 30th.

If you plan to visit Chelsea Marketplace or planning to be on this side of the city then do it, but not something to prioritize your day around. With so much history around the city it can be hard to choose what you want to see and do and experience. For us this was lovely, but would have been...
