It's only been raining on the High Line, nowhere else. Doesn't everyone know that? According to meteorologists at the University of Expertisia, given its altitude, the High Line catches the equinotical and solsticial public relations coming off the Sea of Ambition, and the accumulated humidity must precipitate as fog and fiction along the entire, ironclad sierra.

The Highline is the best thing to happen in NY in years -- an exhilarating aesthetic, imaginative & communal experience that, literally elevates the scale, and the meaning, of city life. Thank you for your gift to the city, and to our lives.

Derek - I do too. Unfortunately, those few bad apples who don't clean up after their dogs or let them run wild ruin it for all. So I'm actually really okay with a dog-free Highline.

Well, you guys did it right. We went to all the community meetings throughout the years. I can't tell you how pleasant it was to see so many of the community's suggestions in the final Highline designs, and to be able to explain to people why things were done in a certain way, what was preserved, etc. Thank you a million times over. (P.S. I still think the roller coaster would have been a nice feature.)

you can only enter at Gansevoort St. You can exit at several places, but be aware that you cannot come back in via those other "access" points. There are no signs that tell people that. Once you are down the stairs, a "Greeter" hands you a card on which that information is printed.

Architecture is the backdrop and canvas. It's a combination: the historical (freight railroad preservation), the remaining beauty of older warehouses and homes and horticultural - - fabulous native plants! It is a place to chill out, relax, stroll, socialize, and enjoy nature.
