Tour | High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets.

When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.
