The High Line is a concrete pathway that was originally constructed to safely raise freight trains off of Manhattan streets. It has been converted into a cafe and greenery-lined park where you can traverse from the Meat Packing District all the way up through Chelsea to Hell's Kitchen. On an Indian summer day, it's packed with locals and tourists alike. We were fortunate enough to visit on a day when there was a public art project and the entrance was adorned with a path of rose petals.
It's so fantastic that Bond No. 9, one of my favorite perfumeries, named a scent after it (think refreshing bergamot and rhubarb). I suggest you treat your olfactory and visual senses by checking out both at the same time! Start your walk by vising the Bond No. 9 store on Bleecker and West 11th St., then make your way through the West Village over to the the High Line entrance on 14th St..
