The High Line
Gansevoort St. to W. 20th St., Manhattan
We'd heard the High Line was too crowded to be enjoyable. Guess we were lucky because we enjoyed our back-and-forth stroll immensely, marveling at the combination of old, new, natural, artificial. Up here The Standard Hotel is as provocative as its nickname—the lap dance (since it straddles but does not touch the High Line, pictured below)—suggests. Many men (the ones who hold each other's hands), and couples, but no chance you will feel old when you explore this lovely little pedestrian park, which you should, as soon as possible, as the sun sets. Open hours: 7am-10pm. City Bakery has the concession contract, and its offerings include Sullivan Street Pizza.
