Walk through history

There’s nothing better than taking an evening stroll through New York City, and there’s no better place to do it than the High Line. Located in the Meatpacking District, the High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project, lifting freight traffic 30 feet into the air. The line hasn’t been used since the 1980s and was recently reopened as the ideal place to stroll and take in some of the best panoramic views in the city. The first section, running from Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street, opened on June 9, 2009. The second section, from West 20th Street to West 30th Street, is scheduled to open in 2011.

New York City offers everyone the perfect setting for an incredible evening. With everything the city has to offer, you are only limited by your imagination.
