This walk is one of my favorites in the entire city. . . a peaceful journey away from the noisy car-filled streets of Manhattan. Your guided walking tour will began in the historic Meatpacking District, a corridor of food production for nearly a century. See how the area has been preserved while also evolving into a trendy neighborhood of boutique shops and restaurants. It is there that we will enter the High Line park at its southern end, before beginning our 1. 3-mile journey uptown. Through historic photos and discussion, you will discover the site's amazing evolution. You will also see the ever-changing art displays along this line. You will see new buildings by Zaha Hadid, Bjarke Ingels, and others. At the end, I will show you the new Hudson Yards, the largest private development in US history, which I have spent years visiting and researching. Learn the story of its rise and see the Shed performing arts center, the Vessel, 30 Hudson: NY's now 3rd-tallest building, & more.
Our tour will in the heart of the former Meatpacking District. From there, I will guide you to the High Line, and we will make our way uptown along this beautiful greenway. In addition to explaining the history and evolution of this unique space, I will help point out the amazing views it provides of all the surrounding architecture and landmarks. We will visit The Spur, the newest and final section of the High Line. At the end of the High Line, we will arrive at Hudson Yards. I will provide an overview tour of this new district, providing details on each building. I will also provide architectural concepts of the buildings yet to come. See it with a true local! At the end of the tour, you will have many options to continue your time at Hudson Yards: a journey up the Vessel, a visit to the Edge observation deck, or an amazing culinary exploration at celebrity chef Jose Andres' food hall (Mercado Little Spain).
