After the Central Park debacle I thought I’d give the Chelsea Highline a chance to redeem the idea of an urban park. Built on an elevated disused railway line from just below 14th St in the downtown Meatpacking District to 34th St in Midtown, the Chelsea Highline is my sort of park – clear (and well signposted) entry and exit points, a clear path from start to end, interesting views and (for the traditionalists) great greenery. It certainly didn’t feel like I walked 20 blocks (a little over 2km). A much better day!
