High Line, New York City


Does it count as travel when you're a 10-minute walk from home? When it offers views of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Del Posto, I have to say yes. Julie-Anne dropped in for an impromptu visit so it was a good excuse to amble over to the High Line to see how it fares in Fall. There were a few random blossoms but mostly bushy greens and grays with one miniature tree bearing the first autumn leaves. This park is expanding uptown with a new entrance coming right down the street! It offers a pedestrian-way free of bikes, dogs and crosswalks. A wonderful place for a relaxing stroll with peaks of - and peeks at - charming decay and towering grandeur.
