I’d like to invite you for a nice walk on The High Line along the Hudson River.
The High Line is a public park built on a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure running from Gansevoort St to W. 34th St. on Manhattan's West Side.
What used to be a freight rail line in operation from 1934 to 1980 has been turned into a very pretty park raised above the city streets with views of the Hudson River and the city skyline.
The High Line runs through three of Manhattan's most dynamic neighborhoods: the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea, and Hell’s Kitchen/Clinton. You can find the detailed map on http://www.thehighline.org/about/maps.
You can bring you own food basket or enjoy the various eateries along The High Line from http://www.thehighline.org/about/high-line-food.

By the way, New York’s City’s hugely successful High Line isn’t the first elevated urban railroad bed to be converted into a much-loved linear park. The elevated park in Paris la Promenade Plantée was the model for the High Line.
Projects similar to the High Line are now in early stages in St. Louis, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Chicago, and Rotterdam.
