The Highline is one of the city’s best new attractions of recent years. It’s an old elevated train track that’s been renovated into a beautiful city park that weaves through Manhattan’s West side from 34th Street down to 14th Street. Raised above the traffic and chaos below, the Highline walk is a great way to spend an afternoon and soak in the city’s impressive architecture. Our favorite part of the walk is the Southern half of the Highline around the Meatpacking District and Chelsea neighborhood. Here you can find some of the great food and drink vendors including L’Arte del Gelato, The Taco Truck, and Terroir at the Porch, which serves beer and wine. There are numerous entry points to the elevated park along the way, so pop up and down as you explore the neighborhoods below. We suggest hopping off in Chelsea to explore the shops and restaurants in the Chelsea Market, which sits just below the Highline.
