    You can walk from 14th to 34th and not realize you walked all the way to midtown. Love that there's so many benches and places to sit so you can just chill out, look at art and think.

    A great park. Start at the southern tip and walk the full way north past Hudson Yards. The new northern expansion is my favorite part — quieter, more natural. Gives you a new perspective on the city.

    Very unique and clever use of urban landscape. Always a good time to come and enjoy some of the street art below. Use the sun chairs to grab some sun during warm days.

    Walk the whole thing (sunset = best). If its night time, look for the exhibitionists Doing Their Thing in the windows of the Standard Hotel. Sit in sunken mini-theater (you'll know it when you see it)

    (Good luck) go(ing) when it's not crowded, as the contrast with the aves below will be even more stark. Different views, installations, and no traffic lights make it the best way to walk the west side

    NYC's elevated freight railway turned urban park.The 1.45 mile long strip is a pleasant walk surrounded by plants and artworks. It has a great view of the Hudson River and Lower Manhattan

    Love the High Line! A beautiful resurrected urban garden above the city perfect for an evening stroll. Can get crowded with tourists taking pictures.

    Go for a walk midday during the week when it's less crowded. Great voyeur opportunities into the fancy pants apartments along the highline as well 😏👀

    Wow! So worth the visit! The landscaping, design and concept of this park is incredible! It's a "recycled" train track turned park. You get a great view of the city and get to see great architecture.

    It is always a great time to enjoy the HighLine. Just look at this view. Make a stop at Chelsea Market or some other restaurants along the way. You’ve earned it after making your way back & forth.

    Given the chance to grow, the landscaping here has flourished and matured beautifully, much better than when it first opened. Now a much appreciated green corridor on the west side of lower Manhattan.

    A walk is a deep dive on the modern architecture surrounding the old train tracks. Close to the Chelsea Market, there is also a structure built to welcome Titanic that remains to this date.

    One of my most favorite places in NYC for a stroll. It is the perfect reimagining of urban blight into a beautiful work of art you can stroll around.

    Unique park with some cool views and art pieces. Go early to avoid the crowds (but bring your coffee because the shops aren’t open very early). There are elevators if you can’t take the stairs.

    Delightful urban walk. Lots of seating spaces with fun views to enjoy coffee, lunch or take a selfie. Old tracks incorporated into garden and walkways. Head to the north end for Hudson views

    The High Line is an icon of Manhattan. Maybe some prefer skyscrapers and Lady Liberty, but if you're looking for something uniquely different, The High Line will give it to you

    Most beautiful spot in NYC. Even better, it’s accessible! Walked end to end & back again. Zero issues navigating it w/my son’s wheelchair, even to street. Easier than walking w/chair in the streets.

    A long highline compared to the ones I’ve known. Lot’s of work around it so I think there still more to come. Nice way to see surroundings. Probably best visit on sunny day rather than winter or rainy

    Make sure to see the other sculptures also made by Full house artist (pictured) at the Whitney that's down at the end of the highline (meatpacking district area) it's $25 but has free day(s)

    No matter how packed it gets, it’s still an oasis in the NYC urban jungle. Great public art, amazing blend of garden zen aesthetics and modern wood architecture. The Green Apple lives here!

    The perfect place for a leisurely Date Night wander, especially on a warm spring evening. If you're feeling racy, keep an eye on The Standard – you might get more of a show than you bargained for.

    Wonderful scenic views with manicured gardens. Come in the summertime when they have food stalls offering artesianal creations. There are street performers playing throughout.

    Really great for a date. Scenic views of the city. The end of the high line isn't too pretty. I always say I'll start around that point & head towards the scenic area but that hasn't happened yet

    Sunset walk takes your breath away! Romantic stroll with your special one in the evening with beautiful view of NYC skyline. At night you can see exhibitionists in the windows of the Standard Hotel.

    They've just extended it northwards so worth another visit if you've been. Take time to learn about the history, it's amazing what they've created from a disused rail track. Each section is unique.

    The Highline is definitely a must-see in New York! The park can be very crowded on weekends, our advice: check it out at night before it closes, you're going to have the whole park for yourself!

    See all those streets below you, from the teens up to the high 20s? They're lined with art-filled galleries, all of them free. Head down to street level and duck in to any that catch your attention.

    While it can get crowded, nothing beats this urban meets garden meets park situation for a nice stroll overlooking the streets of Manhattan. Bring food from Chelsea Market and have yourself a picnic.
