High Line Park in NYC 🌿🏙️
🎬 The High Line: New York’s Elevated Urban Oasis Today, we’re exploring one of NYC’s most innovative urban renewal projects—the High Line Park! Originally a 1930s elevated freight rail line used for meat transportation, the High Line was abandoned in the 1980s and slowly became a wild, overgrown ruin. Instead of demolishing it (which would’ve been costly and disruptive), the city transformed it into a global model of urban regeneration—a stunning "skyline greenbelt"! 📍1. Where Does the High Line Start and End? Southern Entrance: Gansevoort Street (right next to the Whitney Museum) Northern End: 34th Street at Hudson Yards Total Length: ~2.3 km (about 40 mins of leisurely walking—perfect for strolling and snapping photos!) 🗺️ 2. Key Access Points & Landmarks Along the Way Location Nearby Highlights Gansevoort St (South) Whitney Museum, Chelsea Market 14th St Iconic overlook + art gallery district 23rd St Lawn area (great for picnics!) 30th St (West) Giant pigeon sculpture "Dinosaur" nearby! 34th St (North) The Vessel, The Shed arts center, Hudson Yards mall Pro Tip: Visit at golden hour for dreamy views of the city and the Hudson River! 🌇✨ #High Line Park #US
