The High Line runs one and a half miles on the former West Side elevated rail line — Gansevoort to 34th Street with the Spur extension to Hudson Yards, the planting programme by Piet Oudolf, the architectural detail handled at the level the project demands. The format is the most consequential public-space project in New York since Olmsted laid out Central Park.
Walk the full length at dawn for the soft light, take the cross-section at the 20th Street terraces, stop at the Standard for the lunch underneath. The address is the right answer for the West Side day that wants the architectural walk and the only park in the city at the right elevation.
The park above the West Side.
