Speaking of the Meatpacking district, there is another spot that is kind of unique: The High Line. Built in the 30s to remove dangerous trains from the streets of Manhattan, this 30feet lifted infrastructure has no activity since 1980. Then, it was in the late 90s when a community under the name of Friends of the High Line was formed to stop its demolition. Nowadays, what it was a bunch of iron, has turned into an elevated public park and a perfect place to chill-out in the hectic Manhattans Lower West Side. The park opens from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and it runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to 34th Street, between 10th & 11th Avenues.
