Walking The High Line | New York City | Walking Tour
Welcome to our in-depth exploration of the High Line, one of New York City's most iconic and innovative urban parks. This elevated greenway offers a unique blend of nature, art, and history, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. Join us as we take you on a journey through this extraordinary space, uncovering its past, present, and future.
The High Line's story begins in the early 20th century. Constructed in the 1930s as part of the West Side Improvement Project, the elevated rail line was designed to lift dangerous freight trains off Manhattan's streets, ensuring the safe transportation of goods to and from the city's bustling factories and warehouses. For decades, the High Line served as a critical artery for New York's industrial sector. However, with the rise of interstate trucking in the mid-20th century, rail traffic dwindled, and the High Line fell into disuse.
By the 1980s, the High Line was abandoned and faced the threat of demolition. But in the late 1990s, a grassroots effort led by community activists and visionaries sparked a movement to save and repurpose the structure. They imagined the High Line as a public park, a green oasis amidst the concrete jungle. After years of advocacy, fundraising, and planning, the first section of the High Line opened to the public in 2009. Today, it stands as a testament to the power of community and innovative urban design.
**What to See and Do:**
1. **Gansevoort Street to 34th Street:**
Spanning from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to 34th Street in Hudson Yards, the High Line offers 1.45 miles of beautifully landscaped pathways. Each section of the park has its own unique character and attractions.
2. **Chelsea Market Passage:**
One of the most popular sections, the Chelsea Market Passage, is a semi-enclosed area featuring food vendors, public art, and stunning views of the city. This area was once home to the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) and is where the famous Oreo cookie was born.
3. **Public Art Installations:**
The High Line is renowned for its rotating public art installations. Throughout the park, you'll encounter contemporary sculptures, murals, and performance art. These installations are curated by Friends of the High Line, ensuring that there's always something new and exciting to see.
4. **Beautiful Gardens:**
The High Line's gardens are a botanical marvel. Designed by landscape architects James Corner Field Operations and planting designer Piet Oudolf, the gardens feature over 500 species of plants, including native grasses, perennials, and wildflowers. Each season brings a new palette of colors and scents, making every visit a unique experience.
5. **10th Avenue Square & Overlook:**
This amphitheater-like space provides a unique perspective of 10th Avenue and the bustling city below. It's a great spot to sit and soak in the vibrant energy of New York City.
6. **The Spur and the Plinth:**
The Spur, the newest section of the High Line, features the Plinth, a dedicated space for monumental art installations. The Plinth's rotating series of sculptures are sure to inspire and provoke thought.
7. **Hudson Yards:**
At the northern end of the High Line lies Hudson Yards, a sprawling development featuring state-of-the-art architecture, shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. Be sure to visit the Vessel, an interactive sculpture and centerpiece of Hudson Yards, offering stunning views of the city from its spiral staircase.
The High Line is open year-round, but each season offers a different experience. Spring and summer bring lush greenery and vibrant blooms, while fall showcases stunning foliage. Winter transforms the park into a serene, snow-dusted landscape. The High Line offers countless photo opportunities, from panoramic cityscapes to intimate garden scenes. Don't forget your camera or smartphone to capture the memories.
The High Line is more than just a park; it's a symbol of New York City's resilience, creativity, and community spirit. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned local, the High Line offers a refreshing escape and a glimpse into the transformative power of urban green spaces. We hope you enjoy your visit to this extraordinary New York City landmark!

    Horrible experience. Paid $1500 a night for a $300-500 night experience. You can tell immediately that it isn’t a $1000+ hotel. Service is horrible and employees act like you are bothering them. Barely got a drink trying to find staff to serve at beach. People at hotel are mostly members and you can tell they did not pay more than $400 a night. Throw in the parks and that explains it. You pay $1000+ a night but get a $400 experience because people there are members paying $500 a night plus throw in the parks and it is more like $100-200 for them. High intensity sales experience all over the hotel. Checked Oura and I was more stressed there than at home. Beautiful hotel but service and food quality are not at the level they need to be. Have stayed in Quintana Roo hotels more than 10 times and service was always great no matter the price.

    The swim up is good if you don’t like to share tub with strangers aka people who urinate in public pools. My suggestion would be to get a full swim up or room with outdoor pool not the river swim up. They are very different and the price is different but instead of a cold plunge outdoor pool like he said) you get a full size partially heated small private pool

    I've stayed at Secrets 2x both times on the preferred level, and I'm not a member. You do, however, have access to the preferred lounge, the preferred pool ( no activities) it's great for anyone who likes a quiet and smaller setting, and each preferred level has a butler. All the staff there was fantastic and would love to go back. 100% recommended. O and one more thing if you want a real nice dinner ( and expensive) go off the resort about 5 minutes by car 15ish waking, to Harry's steak house and raw orster bar. The sevice is absolutely ❤❤❤❤❤ wonderful. You will have probably never have an experience like it. Also the preferred level as private check in.

There are a lot of confusing things about that Resort that takes some research but if you watch enough videos you'll figure it out. There's lots of information on their website and some people even sell cheat sheets for 20 bucks😂. Both hotels give you access to all 10 Parks. you do have to make reservations for eight of them. There are two parks explore and another one I don't remember the name that you don't need reservations. It's the same way with the restaurants, you have to make reservations as soon as you arrive at resort, or else you won't be able to get in. I know it's a lot of information but the resort is so big you'll have to go several times in order to do everything.

We want tropical, Caribbean feel, which is lacking in downtown Cancun.We loved Secrets Cap Cana in the DR!! The beach was amazing, lovely rooms, friendly staff, anout twenty minutes from the airport. For another all adult, all inclusive, in Cancun the Iberostar Grand Pariso knocks it out of the park. We were there around Christmas, and the level of service could not be beat.❤ Happy traveling!

    I went to this resort and stayed in the prefered club. Firstly all of the rooms on the top floors are prefered club rooms. These rooms include butler service as well as access to a prefered club lounge with snacks and premium alcohol. I drank most of my drinks from this bar either going to and from pool or to and from dinner which was mostly shots and margaritas made with Don Julio 70. You also get access to the prefered club pool and olio pictured in this video. For me this pool was more comfortable with more available seating and better food and drink service (including premium drinks). Personally I made regular use of all of the prefered club amenities and so this was well worth the added cost but milage may vary.
