The High Line hovers above the East Side of Manhattan and stretches from Chelsea all the way down to Meatpacking District. It is a disused Railway Track that was built in the 1930s and has been preserved and turned into a tourist attraction. We happened to choose what felt like the hottest day we had yet experienced which made the walk quite difficult and I think we may have bailed about half way down to go and get a well deserved Sunday Sundae ice-cream but the view was undoubtedly spectacular. However, the artificial and strange smelling plants scattered along the line made me for the first time miss the REAL countryside. I think it's fair to say that New York just doesn't do gardens??!
