It is basically a park built on an old freight line that used to run between 1934 and 1980. It runs between Gansevoort Street to West 34th Street on Manhattan's West Side where it was originally used to transport meat to the meat packing district, carry industrial goods and mail.
It has been designed with areas of plants, grass and wooden planks to create the walkways. You can go for picnics- sadly no dogs or ball games are allowed but they do have food stalls which sell gelato, hot dogs and other treats of the Yum variety!
They hold a lot of events there including dance lessons, arty classes for kids and stargazing (amazing) and you can also enquire to hold your own private party- YES PLEASE!
It looks like such a beautiful, well designed and styled piece of calm within such a crazy, busy, noisy city. I would love to go for a wander and a picnic with extra pimms.
Anyone been there? Is it as dreamy as it looks?
Take a look-
