What do you do with a disused railway track that brings down the image of an area? Why, turn it into an elevated, beautiful park of course. Elevated above the streets of Manhattans west side the High Line Park offers a very different and unique way to enjoy a public park. The attraction of this park is the well laid out plantings and gorgeous greenery growing on old railway tracks with unexpected views of the Hudson River and Manhattan. What sounded like an impossibility a few years ago has turned into a realisation as New Yorkers seek to get away from the commotion of the city below.

It is truly a beautiful place to be and Mayor Bloomberg once described the park as something of a renaissance for the area. It is a great place to understand how New York City developed from the old times as the tracks used to be an integral transport line to the docks, where by now it acts as an inspirational area with the best views of the sea and down at the roads.

It is a treasure of the city, so take a wander up there, walk along the fabulous walkway grab a hot chocolate at the winter time to enjoy the Christmas views or get away from the busy Summer time life of the city. With other great attractions such as Gotham Comedy Club and Madison Square Garden , the area is a must visit location for visitors.

Get a hotel nearby and do not miss out on this great area with Luxury hotels such as the Ace Hotel , Affinia Manhattan and Hotel Pensylvania .
