Photographs from the New High Line Park, Open Today
You can see all sorts of things today for the first time on the new upper stretch of the High Line, which runs from 20th to 30th streets—from a great view into Marianne Boesky's Deborah Berke-designed house/gallery to children frolicking to some very good-looking people. Also, a top-notch plant. Also! The best (aka "fastest") place to get your car inspected in New York City: right at the corner of 10th Avenue and 26th Street. (Also a scary art installation below.) Spotted last night: people actually eating berries off bushes. I hope they feel okay today?
Previously: Pictures from the High Line's first day.
I'm not seeing the beautiful people. Will the Reader fix that for me?
What is that Dr. Seuss looking space? I'm coming out in a couple of weeks with the 10 year old and if we hang out on the High Line, I know she's going to want to go there. Is it open to the public? If not, it looks kind of soft. Maybe I can just throw her over the railing and she'll bounce when she lands.
@hockeymom NM…just saw that you linked to exactly what it is. I should read more carefully. (funny link, btw).
Had to laugh at this line: "Spotted last night: people actually eating berries off bushes. I hope they feel okay today? "
We do understand that bushes are where berries come from, right? I can understand concern about eating wild mushrooms, as several poisonous types look just like edible ones. But it's really hard to foul up the identification of a raspberry.
@SeanP
Eating anything growing out of the ground in New York City is probably not smart, especially if you aren't at least washing it first.
But if you want to wander the High Line and pretend you're collecting wild blueberries along an isolated, clean stretch of Maine coastline, knock yourself out.
@SeanP I was at the Highline over the weekend and I think Choire is referring to the service berry bushes. I didn't see any other berries. I don't know anyone, especially a New Yorker, who regularly eats service berries.

@SeanP I laughed too.
I NEED TO GET OFF THESE MOTHERFUCKING CRUTCHES!!!
I think it's very beautiful pictures
Also, a beer garden underneath!
Finally the underserved wealthy white people of Manhattan have a place to linger. No Justice, No Chardonnay!
