Perfection. We had such a blast and were treated so kindly. The staff was absolutely courteous and helpful. The rooms were greatness. We had such a beautiful room. Theres room service which is pretty much 24/7 and a mini fridge and bar. Extra rummy run for two with seperate rain shower. The roof was reserved but you can sit outside on the 3rd floor. Definitely cant wait to go back and enjoy a longer stay even despite the fact there was a vibrator found under the bed.

I love The High Line. Great views of the city, unique spot in NYC on Manhattans west side. My sister and I walked this during a rainy afternoon in May in 2018, and it was still so beautiful, & so much fun!!! If youre on the fence about visiting, definitely do it.

Ive been to the highline about 3 times. The last two were since the pandemic and I love it more than before. There is less people which allows you relax and actually take it all in without being squeezed and rushed. It i great for taking pictures. I highly recommend it.

What an excellent Job during NY Forward and social distancing, Thank You NYC PARKS with this unexpected Global Pandemic. I hope that one morning instead of watching Gov. Cuomo, Andrew giving us hope from Albany every morning; I will wake up to watching him on The White House.

Such a beautiful and peaceful walk! It was quiet and just enough above the city to allow you to not hear so much noise. Beautiful trees.

I remember opening day. It’s a nice place to walk and take in the sights. This would have been my first visit since covid. My last visit was prior to covid. I was taken aback by the signage. You need a timed-entry pass to visit. Also the hours are reduced.

Great to see the sunset or just walk during the day. You need to take ticket during Covid but still free so they can regulate the number of people. Just one entrance now close by the Witney museum

BEAUTIFUL views. I love how the city left the above-ground subway track in place. Its a pretty boardwalk with plenty of space that stretches alongside West Manhattan. Every now and then you just need to stretch your legs and go for a stroll. Perfect place to relax.

Great place to walk. It was nice to be elevated and have that change of scenery. The one-way COVID path left me off at the Vessel and the Little Spain market.

My favorite vantage point for an impressive view of the surroundings of New York City. What more could an abandoned railway line become but a sightseeing park. Youll literally feel like you are walking on cars to get to your destination. Skyline pictures from here are stunning.

Nice fall colors. Now is definitely the time to go to the High Line. One way traffic, fairly sparse with people. Always a nice walk through lower Manhattan.

What a beautiful place, so unique to NY! Beautiful and filled with history. Its a fun walk. We got a free tour and the lady thoroughly explained about the Highlines history and importance.

I love this place even though it has become too popular and crowded all the time! Loved sitting here reading a book or a nap when it first opened. ***During the pandemic: It’s nice that it’s this quiet but the circumstances for it to happen is sad.FYI, they have 2 rest rooms open (at Washington St entrance and 16th St) You have to book a free timed ticket to enter. Sit and walk where it’s marked with the green dot.

I had no idea the high line was once a railroad track. Its a beautiful, scenic walk- just make sure you make your time reservations and pay attention to what entrances are open!

Beautiful park with a lot of fun things to see and do--museums, gardens, trails, carousel, and play areas for children. its a great place in the middle of the city where you can be surrounded by nature and enjoy running or walking through the pretty scenery. go on a sunny day and have a picnic!

Review №19

One of my favorite places in NYC. I’ve actually fell in love with it more, and able to enjoy it much more now that it’s empty and not filled to the brim with lunatic tourists. Highly recommend you go now while it’s calm and serene and not hectic and chaotic. Ticket reservations online were very simple, and check in was easy. It’s one way only, and as of right now, you can only go up-to Hudson Yards on 30th St., which is a lot. Staff were extremely helpful and informative. Bathrooms were clean. Just wish they had a water bottle refilling station to refill your bottle. Can’t think of a better time to go than now, before the tourists start coming again.

Review №20

Super easy to make a free reservation online right now. We got to the park during our arrival window and it was so nice to be there with few people. The park was cleaner than I’d ever seen it and it was very beautiful. Probably one of the most, if not the most, safe and clean parks in New York right now. Definitely will be returning as much as I can while the weather allows!

Review №21

Very nice walking path smack in the middle of the city. Must-go destination. Due to covid-19 they are trying to space out the visitors, so book your time slots online ahead of time. Also currently you are limited to walking in single direction.

Although there are some restrictions at the moment, the High Line has its charm. Walking upon the streets and roads in the middle of beautiful Meadow. I suggest visiting during each season as the place is full of different colors every time

Review №24

New York is a walking City and this is the best free must see attraction on Manhattan. It is a brilliant example of urban repurposing. The plantings offer a pleasant alternative to the streets below. There are changing art installations along the way and the south end is anchored by the Whitney Museum. Weekdays and mornings are somewhat less crowded.

Such a peaceful place in the middle of NYC. There are also deck-chairs which are placed on the old tracks and can be pushed together (using rollers on the tracks) or moved apart to facilitate your group. A lovely area to spend a lunch time.

Great place to visit. You have to reserve time prior the visit. Walking is one way only, youre required to wear mask all the time. Clean park, staff was friendly and helpful. Just there was no food/beverage kiosks, so bring your own!

Review №27

The highline is a staple of New York City. Hundreds of thousands of people visit it every year every year and has been featured in many films and productions.Personally I consider the highline to be an architectural tour of some the most extravagant residential condominiums in America and getting a taste of luxury. Youll find yourself gazing at the unique and interesting styled buildings all while being surrounded couples, influencers, and celebrities. Its cute.Id recommend dressing up a bit if you intend to take photos. Otherwise just enjoy the view and take in the moment.

It’s amazing to have this oasis streaming along from the West Village to Hudson Yards. It’s pretty quiet before 8am. It opens at 7am. By 9am it’s pretty busy and by midday it’s packed. Mostly tourists.

Scenic, lots of photo ops and its nice that there are public restrooms so you can spend lots of time without needing to go far for a toilet. Right now they are doing one way walking and timed entry tickets to reduce crowds. It wasnt too busy, there were more employees than guests.

Review №36

I’ve been here a few times and since NYC isn’t full of tourist I figured it would be nice to enjoy a walk at the high line. Due to COVID you need a reservation and unfortunately you can’t walk the entire high line which sucks! This is a place I come to often mostly to see artwork or just a different view of the city.

Review №38

Wow, I have never appreciated the High Line more than now. 2020 has made outdoor spaces like this invaluable. The juxtaposition of the natural elements against the cityscape is quite an experience, especially with the integration of public art.This was also the emptiest the space has ever been which allows for you to really take in the sights. Due to limited capacity restrictions during the pandemic, theyve implemented timed entry so my friend and I got tickets in advance. They also have clean facilities available for use. Hope I get to go once more before the weather changes completely.

Get tickets online. They keep it pretty distanced by limiting the number of people that come every hour. Quiet, beautiful walk on old train track. Very nice spot for anyone. Families, couple, single person. Accessibility access available.Inclusive bathroom signs are a double plus!

Very cool, the only problem was we were not told in advance that you can only walk North so we started on the middle and could only go to the end but then had to register to get in from the beginning. Definitely with the trip.

Really neat thing to do. We entered in the Chelsea area and walked to the end right next to The Vessel. A great thing to do if you are visiting or live in NYC. Its free as well.

With COVID, they have a new reservation system to maintain social distancing. The result is you get a relatively quiet park experience, and a peace of mind. You can enter on w 23th st, and can only move northbound. Feeling like Im at a Japanese tea garden with the amount of quiet here!

An absolute delight! My favorite morning exercise adventure. Flowers and plants galore, alternating art installations and a temporary escape from Manhattan’s kinetics. Oh, and it happens to be above the skyline. I’d like to think of it as my own little “Yellow Brick Road.”

Review №54

Because they limit the number of people entering the trail, there is plenty of space to stay socially distant and have a great time. The trail is beautiful, the buildings of Manhattan looked gorgeous in the sunset. We had a great time here.There are bathrooms inside, and they give you masks at the entrance if you dont have one (Im not sure if its free).

Review №55

Great quirky park. As you might expect, a thin strip of greenery running north-south. The landscaping and decorative designs are very interesting. Usually very crowded. Often have art on display; sculptures and such. Also a lot of the architecture all around the park is really stunning. There are art galleries all around the area, so it you like art check them out. At the north end is Hudson Yards development, (new and stunning, especially the tower called The Vessel. South end has The Whitney Art Museum.

Review №56

Clean beautiful open space right in the heart of Manhattan, easy and secure timed entry from the southern start point in Meatpacking district and West village right at the famous Whitney Museum, can walk all the way up to midtown around 34th Street, perfect during this time of health needs in America. People who work for the High Line are just outstanding and make this even better. Take it from Professor Jan, visit The High Line soon and often.

Review №59

This is one of the reasons New York continues to stay on top as far as being in the city. This is a park on an old railroad filled with beautiful sights, art, and simply a great place to sit and hang as well. I love this place so much because you can stroll around here with friends and soak up the amazing views or sit down and look at some history and if you walk the whole line, you end up at the Vessel some shopping centers that adds to the wonderful experience. Overall this is definitely a must to experience when you visit Manhattan, New York.

Beautiful walk with wonderful views. You walk on old rails, raised above the street. Along the way you see many works of art. You admire tidy grass, trees and flowers. There are many benches along the way, where you can sit, rest and admire the surroundings. The way is very well maintained. All praise for this.

Fantastic use of the old train track! Very nice walk with spectacular views and great spots to take amazing pictures from above the ground level. We use it to go from Hudson yards where we went to visit the Vessel to Chelsea market. Its free and there are several access points along it. Also access for disable. 100%recommended.

Review №66

Very unknown place of New York. Well people know about this but it should be one of the obligations when you visit New York. I met some locals who never knew about this place. So I recommend it at 100%.Recommendations.Start at the vessel attraction. In Judson yards (last stop of 7 train). And at the end of the high line you would find one of the best neighborhoods of Manhattan CHELSEA. Visit the Chelsea market and you would have am awesome place to rest and eat after walking.

Love to walk the High Line! Botanical vibes above and through the concrete jungle. So glad it was open again after the Covid...Had to enter on Gansevoort, then follow the lime green dots North until it is blocked on 23rd.This was the first time I have ever been here and there was almost nobody else. The space was nice. Just like the rest of Manhattan tho, its weird to see things so empty.It was cool to see the wild, overgrown nature of these usually closely manicured trees and bushes.All in all, still love the High Line. Like everyone else waiting for the Covid craziness to end

Nice park located in New York City. Beautiful views of the city with plenty of social distancing. Great activity to do during the Pandemic. Is a definite must visit.

Review №75

At the time my group went, the park was only opened between Gansevoort St and 23 St, with no more than 4 people in one group and all traffic moving north to 23 St. The people at the High Line have really tried their hardest to make sure that everyone who goes their enjoys themselves while also following social distancing guidelines. You still get to enjoy all the great views of the park with a small group of friends and family members while being able to stay apart from others. Booking now is actually a good idea as the park is far less crowded than usual and is pretty easy to access, from 14 St - 8 Av station on the A, C, E, and L trains or 14 St - 7 Av on the 1, 2, and 3 trains. I highly recommend this to those that are sick of being indoors or cant go their favorite places due to restrictions.

Great place to get away from the noisy traffic levels of New York. The highline has many seating spots and all socially distanced.Book your time slot on their website for free entry.Masks are required at all times, but its well worth it given how beautiful and green the scenery is.During Covid at least in July, its only open from the very bottom of the highline up until 23rd Street.

Id heard about this park, but got a chance to see it only today.Its a beautiful park above the city. There are still rails there.It is peaceful up there and much cooler than down on the road level.There are resting benches made of wood where you can lie down. There are some tables with chairs where you can drink your coffee or eat your lunch.Awesome place. Thank you every, who took a part in transforming subway line into a great park

Loved this place! I have been to nyc before and missed it since it’s one of the less touristy spots but so glad we went this time. These are abandoned train tracks converted into urban park. You can walk around for the city views along with some art installations along the walking track and the enjoy the greenery around. You can also walk down to the Chelsea market down below which is fantastic farmers market with tons of options to eat and shop.

Even though it was a rainy and already dark evening, it was mesmerizing taking a quick stroll on the High Line. Seeing all the lights glisten on the rain soaked surfaces brought out a cinematic quality to these surroundings. The breeze from the Hudson was refreshing. A lovely place to visit In the evening as the crowds are thinning out. The park closes at 10 pm.

What can I say about this treasure that hasnt already been said? The High Line is my number one recommendation to visitors - hop on after a visit to The Whitney and walk all the way up to The Vessel. Book three reservations (Whitney, High Line and Vessel) and make a day of it. Take a seat at The Spur and enjoy Brick House while she is still there.

The High Line is a great outdoor experience in winter and summer! In winter it’s not as crowded as there are less tourist in NYC but also because it’s cold outside lol. Still, you can enjoy it and make a quick stop at Chelsea market etc.it’s a great way to get your step count up in busy NYC life

Important: Check the website before going. To enforce social distancing theyve made the High Line one way only, you must enter at Gansevoort or 23rd St and can only go northbound, and you need to reserve a time to enter. All other access points are exit only.

I got there.....and it was closed. 2020 surely has been a disappointing year Remember ppl, check the times it closes before heading out lolOn the flip side, the other times Ive been there it was pretty cool. You can see the tenants of nearby buildings cooking and just chilling, pretty funny tbh.
