Did you just arrive for your first day in New York City but are too early to check into your hotel? Perhaps you are on your way out but have a few hours to spare before you head to the airport to catch your flight home. The weather has finally taken a turn for the better and it is the perfect time to get outside & enjoy the many wonders that NYC has to offer!
If you’re looking for a good way to spend your time in NYC, I’ve included a 4-hour itinerary below that I think you will enjoy:
The High Line is a 1-mile public park built on a section of an elevated train rail on Manhattan’s lower west side, extending from Gansevoort Street to 34th Street, between 10th & 11th Avenues. Maintained by the non-profit group Friends of the High Line, this organization seeks to preserve the space as one of New York City’s historic structures and create an opportunity to promote art, innovative design, agriculture and more!
