Set yourself up for your inspirational 2-hour walk along the High Line at bustling Chelsea Market, the former factory converted into the city’s best food court. As you head north along this garden pathway snaking between apartment and office blocks, you’ll hear the grisly history of the Meatpacking District and learn how gentrification has overtaken parts of the city.

Throughout, you’ll experience views of great architecture and glimpses of the Hudson River from a new angle.
