We visited the High Line in Manhattan a few weeks ago. Although it was about to rain any minute, the new park was still packed with people. The High Line was originally constructed in the 1930's as an elevated track for freight trains. It is now a public park, with landscaping designed by James Corner Field Operations in conjuntion with Diller Scofidio + Renfro Architects. The High Line runs from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street between 10th & 11th Avenues, and will eventually run all the way to 34th Street. It's a unique space with interesting views and naturalistic plantings - we definitely recommend a stroll in this park the next time you find yourself on the West Side of Manhattan. These photos show Frank Gehry's InterActiveCorp building as viewed from the High Line.
