I love meeting new people, walking around and sharing my knowledge of NYC. I've lived in NYC since 1992. I have traveled all over Europe and done walking tours in many cities. I like to keep my tours fun. I'm also involved with the Guides Association of NY and with Big Apple Greeter.

Tour description

The High Line is an oasis of fresh air, a pathway combining nature-bathing and architectural artistry. The area above it, below it and around it has flourished with its popularity. No visit to NYC is complete without a stroll along its fascinating zigs and zags.

We begin at Hudson Yards, a part of Manhattan so new, it still has that new tourist-draw smell. We'll pass the Vessel and The Shed, then we'll stroll the High Line to its very end at Gansevoort Street, where we'll all learn how to pronounce 'Gansevoort.'

Then we'll do a little stroll through the meatpacking district until we reach Chelsea Market, where I'll leave you to explore their many food stalls.

NYC is a chaotic, fast-paced, busy place, with few opportunities to stop, slow down the world and lower your blood pressure. The High Line is one of the few places in NYC that is good for your heart. I love taking visitors here. I think you'll love it too.


Highlights

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:
W 33rd St & Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001, USA
I will be in front of 30 Hudson Yards, at the corner of West 33rd Street and Hudson Boulevard East. The number 30 is right above the front doors, which are right on the corner of West 33rd and Hudson Boulevard East. I'll probably be wearing my signature colorful hat.

Outside visit
Hudson Yards
Hudson Yards is a massively transformed neighborhood on Manhattan's west side, and a great place to spend money, whether you're buying a condo, a designer suit or a fancy espresso. The 7 train was expanded here. It has a massive and darkly tragic modern art installation (The Vessel). It has shiny buildings and a flexible performance space. It has a mall with air-conditioning.

Outside visit
The Vessel
The Vessel is a $200 Million climbing structure, a honeycomb structure perfect for climb-strolling (for ambulatory people only -- NOT ADA compliant.) It's a great backdrop for photos, currently under construction after some tragic events.

Outside visit
The High Line
The High Line is one of NYC's gems. It's a 1.45 mile-long elevated park above Manhattan's west side, sneaking above and even through buildings from 34th street all the way down to Gansevoort St. A dedicated volunteer crew maintains the plant life found throughout the walk and growing naturally in the cracks and crevices of what used to be an elevated commercial rail track.
