Takin' the High Line

There are so many interesting, quirky, and unexpected parts of the city. One of these special places is the High Line. What do you do with an old, above ground train track built in the 1930's that hasn't been used since the 1980's? You turn it into a beautiful park and walkway.
 
Running along 10th and 11th Avenues and between Gansevoort and 34th Street, the High Line is the perfect way to escape the usual combo of foot and car traffic, get a great view of the Hudson, and take in some pretty spectacular views of the city.




 
It's also a fun place to grab a bite. With several food vendors, almost like a gourmet street fair, you can get anything to satisfy your taste buds. The foodie geek that I am and the pathetic way I keep a list of interesting places to try I see about or read about, we had to go to Terroir and have a meatball sandwich. It was honestly the best one we've ever had. Ever!
 

 
There are several locations of this Italian eatery with an extensive wine and beer list, but with the weather like it is the best one has to be the one on the High Line. How could we pass up this view?
 
 
The High Line. Definitely a new favorite and a must see for any visitor.
