Fodor's Review:

Once a 1.5-mi elevated railroad track carrying freight trains, this space is now being transformed into Manhattan's newest green retreat in the spirit of Paris's Promenade Plantée. A long "walking park" with occasional benches, views of the Hudson River, and the Manhattan skyline, the High Line is set above the west end of the Village, reaching up to 30th Street, with scattered access points. The first section is scheduled to open spring 2009 and stretches from Gansevoort to 20th Streets. Future plans include water features, children's attractions, viewing platforms, sundecks, and performance areas. Check the Web site for announcements and openings.

Subway: L to 8th Ave.
