Cheers to the High Line, an elevated walkway which was originally a railway track. It extends from around 13th street on the extreme Westside of Manhattan upto 2oth street. And It's not going to end here. I went there twice. Once on a lovely late sunny afternoon at around 5 and then the next day with my brother, when the sky was overcast. As you walk on the track, you realize how old some of New York city's buildings are, especially when they are rubbing shoulders with contorted shapes - today's ultra modern architecture. I'm sure the real estate prices have gone up in the area. One building opens out onto the walkway. With the tourist and local traffic the bridge attracts, restaraunts, coffe shops etc. are going to thrive along its exits. It's interesting how a simple construction can change the fortunes of a particular neighborhood.
