highline

last sunday ivy and i had a fun day planned in the city and started things off with visiting the highline.

the highline was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the west side improvement. it lifted freight traffic 30 feet in the air. no trains have ran on it since 1980. today the highline has been turned into an elevated park.

after the highline we walked over to union square and had lunch in the park. the picture below is from union square. it was the most perfect day out!!
