New York City

High Line is the most unusual park in New York. Chelsea, West Village

Description:

The newest (opened in 2009) and most unusual park of the “capital of the world”, High Line is laid out on the canvas of an abandoned railway towering above the city at a nine-meter height. The history of the park is dramatic; you will probably be surprised to learn about the real cowboys who once worked on Tenth Avenue, about the "meat-making quarter", about another - secret - park located one hundred and fifty meters from the High Line and other curious facts.

We will admire the masterpieces of superstars of modern architecture Frank Gehry, Sigeru Bun, Jean Nouvel, Bjarke Ingels, Zaha Hadid and others, see the remains of the pier to which the Titanic was supposed to affix, the houses in which John Lennon, John Cage, Bob Dylan lived, the factory where the most popular biscuits in the XX and XXI centuries were invented and produced, the former warehouse, and now - a residential house where more than ninety-n tons of enriched uranium ore were stored for the Manhattan Project (now you know how it is called). You will find out when and why the famous “attacking bull” installed on Broadway was “arrested” and see the place where he “was imprisoned”.

Fans of the series “Friends” and “Sex and the City” will see the filming locations and will be able to buy coffee in the same confectionery as the heroines of the epic.

Tourists are provided with individual radio systems with headphones.
