Built in the 1930’s The Highline is an old overhead railway line to take heavy freight trains off the streets of Manhattans West Side. Instead of demolishing this rail line, it was salvaged by the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation to become a park area in the sky above city traffic. Designed by the architectural firm Diller Scofido + Renfro the highline experience is definitely recommended.
