Guided tours

The High Line was a freight railway, lifted above Manhattan&#39;s West Side in the 1930s to take trains off a street people called Death Avenue. When the trains stopped in 1980, wild plants took over, and two neighbours fought to save it.

This walk shows how New York kept the old bones in plain sight. Start on Little Island, a park raised on concrete pots beside the stumps of the pier where Titanic survivors landed, then cross into the old meat market streets by the Whitney.

Climb onto the High Line and follow it north through the old Nabisco factory, past a window cut into the steel, original rails in a planted thicket, the only lawn and the Spur, to the Vessel at Hudson Yards.

Ten stops, about 2.4 km and 80 minutes, in English and at your own pace. The High Line is free; tickets for the Whitney, the Vessel and Edge are not included.
