The first phase of the Highline Park in downtown Manhattan is getting ready to open. The elevated park is an old railroad that cuts a path from the West Village through Chelsea. It will feature organic landscape design, and lounge chairs for relaxing. (the other elevated park on an old railroad is in Paris, the Promenade Planee) The rules - leave the dog at home, no bikes, blades or skateboards, and don't feed the birds! Enter on Ganesvoort, 14th St., or 23rd St. and enjoy!
