Parks & Nature
The High Line is one of the best public-private projects I've ever experienced in a city. Enjoyed by New Yorkers as much as by tourists, it's a unique perspective on the Big Apple. It can get very crowded on the weekends. Get down there on a weekday morning or catch sunset on the Hudson during the week.
