No matter the time of year, there’s nothing quite like taking a walk on the High Line in New York. NYC’s elevated park is certainly one of the more popular New York attractions, and it's the perfect place to take out-of-town visitors. It was once a rail track, which went out of use in 1980. In 2009, the 1.45-mile-long strip was transformed into what is now considered one of the most unique parks in NYC. The urbanite playground features wildflowers, greenery and outdoor art installations in addition to killer views of New York’s skyline.
