  • What is the High Line? New York City
    Travel Vlog #57
    In this video I'm going to take you on a tour of The High Line in New York City and show you some interesting history of how it came to be! For nature lovers visiting New York City, I recommend taking a walk on The High Line!
    The High Line currently requires timed entry in which you login to a downloaded app. You will be allowed to enter at your designated time. We did not plan ahead and we had to wait about 20 minutes. After walking the high line from South to North, the walk ended in the Hudson Yards right at the Vessel which is the coolest building for the perfect photo opportunity!!!
    We visited the High Line after lunch on Day 2 of the NYC Vlog (full playlist here: • New York City Vlog

    The High Line looks like a very good re-use of the space to make a natural oasis in the middle of the city. I love that there is a place to walk up above the busy-ness of the city. The Vessel seems like a cool landmark as well. Thanks for taking us along. We are enjoying your NYC series!

      Oh good! Im so glad you are enjoying it! I wanted to visit the high line after reading it was one of the top things to do but I didn’t really understand what it was before I went. I really enjoyed it!!

    In Chicago, we have something similar called the 606 and also love how it connects different neighborhoods. Glad this place was rezoned to make something so special.

    • @SwiftyTravels
      @SwiftyTravels  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never been to Chicago- but when I go, I'll have to check that out! I really enjoyed this walk. Did you guys walk the high line when you were out there?

    You really do have a strange knack for coming across proposals! I can't say I've ever seen a single one! Hahah! New York seems like such an interestinginterweaving of buildings and structures. So unique.

    Thanks for sharing the history behind the high line. That is pretty interesting to learn about the railway that once passed through there. That is such an interesting car garage. I would be so fascinated to see how it operates haha. Wow, this is your second marriage proposal encounter while in New York. You have a lucky charm when it comes to that. Take care and safe travels.

    2:37 You ask "Does anyone know what instrument that is?" That instrument is a Chinese erhu, a two stringed bowed instrument with a skin as its sounding surface, comparable to how a banjo uses a tight skin as its sounding surface. The horse hair of the bow passes between the two strings such that the bow cannot be separated from the instrument.

    I appreciate your video as I was trying to learn about it and so many of the videos were simply someone walking for what seems like hours on end, with no commentary.

    Not only is it a public park but it is funded privately. True but while there are plenty of stairwells there are elevators at 14th 17th 23rd and 30th. It hasn't needed a QR code and a reservation time for a while.

    A very stentorian instrument whatever it was!They do urban astronomy on the High Line every Tuesday April until October from night fall although thinking about it night fall is going to be pretty late in June!
