Day 226 - The sun returns

New York City

The sun is back in NYC, break out the t-shirts! We started the day with a walk along the High Line and over the Meat Packing district. The High Line is an old above ground railway line that's been converted to a walking trail.


I bet I know what she's thinking
The line gives you a good view of the areas you walk over, and has lots of greenery, artwork and seating. The Sleep Walking Man is very realistic and we also enjoyed watching people playing Jinga with large cardboard boxes. We left the trail at one point to visit the Chelsea Market, not really a market now though, mainly lots of eating and food places.

After getting to the end of the High Line we caught the subway downtown and wandered around Greenwich Village for a while, ending in Washington Square Park with its arch modeled on the Arc de Triomphe.

It has to be the dolphin at that price, right?
From there we visited Chinatown and Little Italy, then as it was starting to get dark we hopped back onto the subway and headed over to Brooklyn Heights, so we could view the Manhattan skyline at night, and see the Statue of Liberty lit up in the distance.
