⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC : The High Line Elevated Park Reopening Day during COVID-19 (July 16, 2020)

[@tobik.8135]

First I‘d like to thank you for your gorgeous content. I‘m really impressed by the preparations of the High Line. The work is done by volunteers. The whole High Line initiative is a big win for the City. I‘ve been there a couple times and I loved it a lot.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much!

[@MattRobertsAUS]

Thanks for taking us for a walk along The High Line, always visit whenever in NYC. I can't wait to get back again sometime soon.

[@btbees1]

That was an interestng walk! The Elevated Park was new to me. Thanks, ActionKid.

[@hansonel]

Nice to have the High Line without all the crowds. Reminds me of hen it first opened and not many knew about it yet. Good to hear you mention Nelson Sullivan; who as most likely one of the first vloggers back in the 80's. Certainly a man ahead of his time.

[@sunnymas2656]

Once again: The cleanest subway of NYC - ever.

[@WilsonFiskTheBlackKingpin]

They should probably keep that up - even after the crisis :)

[@b.griffin317]

@@WilsonFiskTheBlackKingpin Only way to keep it up is to have no passengers.

[@Steven-xf8mz]

@@WilsonFiskTheBlackKingpin only passengers can keep it clean, not the subway workers. if people see litter, they have to pick up after someone's trash and hold down the person & call the cop for a citation. if everyone can do their parts on weeding out the bad folks for months to come, it will be a formal trend, thus keeping it clean.

[@NYCScooting]

@@b.griffin317 so true!

[@NYCScooting]

@@Steven-xf8mz My Taiwanese friend told me that you would get fined if you chew gums on subways. I see ppl eating pizza, ramen noodles, fried chicken on NYC subway so many times. lol

[@Irishmist1000]

Such a wonderful place, so unique... Thanks for getting in early on the action, AK, and sharing it with us. 😊 👍👍👍

[@georgeplagianos6487]

Wow love the way you take us all around the city now this is in my neighborhood I'm can't wait to get getting back on The High Line again thanks for this trip StayWell stay safe

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure 😊

[@vikkinicholson2300]

Went to the High Line when in NY for my b'day a couple years ago. Left a painted rock inside one of the patches of greenery. Loved it and in fact it was a must see for me. Love NY..maybe in my next life will be a resident like you. lol. Thanks for taking us all with you. Best wishes from Illinois!

[@PerthTowne]

The HIgh Line is one of the great places to stop off if you're visiting Manhattan. Great in any season I think, except winter. Such a great idea to turn an abandoned elevated railroad right-of-way and turn it into a park winding its way above parts of the city.

[@dorothymerrell6091]

Thank you for the high-line walk, what a nice piece of nature high above the streets. I love the way they have the loungers interspersed with the benches. What a relaxing video.

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@War-Hammerone]

Want to give The Action Kid props . . . Walking behind a young lady he was a gentleman as he turned his camera to be respectful. For this and being the best KZbin channel out there, I give The Action Kid “ two thumbs up.”

[@krissmgvlogs]

Thanks for introducing us to Nelson Sullivan. 07:59 Because of you I have binged watched his videos. He was a fascinating character who produced some great footage, so ahead of his time. What I love the most about his 'vlogs' is seeing what NY (especially the area you're in) looked like in the mid 80s so grimy back then, now its all so trendy!

[@timothyelbing5048]

There is an abandoned spur of the LIRR in Queens that would be perfect for a project of this type, or maybe a bike trail. We used to play up there, access was made at 101st and Jamaica ave. We generally walked North as far as Fresh Pond rd or South to Ozone Park. Our favorite part was where it crossed Park Lane South.

[@b.griffin317]

Where exactly are the entrances and exists to this abandoned line?

[@timothyelbing5048]

@@thiscorrosion900 I was always told that it was LIRR elevated line that ran to Kennedy airport. Made sense to me because it traveled in that general direction. We played on it, the tracks and ties were long gone and it was quite grown over with bushes, weeds and small trees. You can see it in one of AK videos, the one of Richmond Hill and Woodhaven.

[@Maya-xs9xn]

I love your videos, thank you for making this difficult isolation time more easy. I’ve never been to NYC. I’m planning to vacation there soon. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos. Very informative. Thank you!! 💕

[@briandesilva1834]

Great tour of the High Line. It has been extended to 30th Street. I made a reservation during my visit to NYC, from Boston, Massachusetts, for Thursday , September 17th, 2020 at 7:00-7:30 pm. My last visit was January 2019. I am excited! Again Thanks

[@judithhinton5784]

The High Line is still a tranquil place to just sit and enjoy. Thank you for posting this video of a very special place, AK!

[@ActionKid]

It really is!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

What an awesome video. I love the views you have. Everywhere you go, it's like a postcard. Cheers!

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Emma.E.Emerson]

I have not been there for 2 years...I love the High Line. I even bought earrrings they were selling by volunteers...little track earrings. They had books to buy, too, to support the High Line. Magical place..

[@DionnaNalls]

This is definitely a bucket list for me to do. I've been to NYC but never get this in while I'm there.

[@JamesWei3434]

you went up 4000 subs in the last 2 months! excellent growth actionkid!

[@sussybaka5322]

God I love Nelson's videos, it's a look at NYC history during the turbulent years.

[@waltman333]

Ken, I'd be darned if I'd have to make a reservation to visit an outdoor Public space which belongs to the citizens of the City of NY! So sorry you had to go thru such trouble to visit your public space! Walt in Miami

[@z.norton3326]

I enjoy watching these....I can't imagine not being able to see green grass., trees, flowers and open fields....but I guess this is the NY way to have some kind of relaxing park?

[@christynr1388]

Just saw this on the news. I knew you would be one of the first to get on there! Lol Good Job, Action!!!

[@janiemedina5054]

Nice how the city took something that was probably an eye sore and turned it into something very relaxing and healthy. Very nice, thank you for bringing this to us, enjoyed this video. 😎🙏

[@sunnymas2656]

The High Line becomes more beautiful, as growing more. Thank you, for being there, with your camera.

[@ActionKid]

Absolutely!

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

That was a treat, nice that they didn't just tear it all down. I'll say one thing, the city sure has changed since the early 1960's I was stationed at Ft Dix NJ, and Aberdeen Md, and spent lot of time wandering around the city on weekends. and the subways and a lot of the streets back then were horrible. trash debris, etc. its come a long way since then and for the better for sure. Thanks for taking me on another adventure, and for sharing.

[@christinebojic492]

Thé High line openned, so great It is so nice during summer So many flowers wonderful Thanks AK 👍

[@LouGrant999]

Thanks for introducing the High Line to me. I wonder when it was constructed. The Park is a wonderful use of City public space. The flowers and trees seem happy and healthy -- clean and well-maintained. A respite from the City that never sleeps.

[@LouGrant999]

@Cityscaper Thanks Cityscaper. I lived and worked in NYC for 21 years and moved to Massachusetts in 2009, so this Highline is very new to me. It's remarkable how nature and the bustle of cities can co-exist in harmony if there is the will to make it happen.

[@juliobandaiglesias7060]

I love the vegetation, all those plants, trees, flowers. They're beautiful 🌲🌳☘🌿🌼🌷💐🌻🌱

[@JesusChuitoValle]

I see your videos every day. Jesus from Puerto Rico.

[@clemontinediva]

Thank you for your videos - I have not ridden the subway or ventured beyond my neighborhood in the UWS since lockdown began & often wonder what the rest of the city & other boroughs are looking like these days, so I really enjoy your videos. The high line really you such a gem of the city, I can't wait to go back there in the future.

[@karalynne7616]

Oh my gosh, I miss the sound of the train!! I miss the City!! Thanks for these walking videos:) I have walked the full highline, very nice👍🌳☀️

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@karalynne7616]

I hope so too!

[@samanthab1923]

Thanks so much for doing this! It never dawned on me it was closed. Nice having the place to yourself almost. 😊✌🏻

[@samanthab1923]

I didn't hear the reason why it wasn't opened all the way?

No worries!

9:50 - I have "Bubby's Pie Cookbook". So cool to see the actual place! I was supposed to meet someone at the Whitney but canceled. I wish now I hadn't.

[@chazzi795]

I think introverts are loving this 🤣🤣 no crowds

[@joelfrombethlehem]

ANOTHER EXCELLENT WALK, ActionKid!

[@stacyg585]

In 2000, I lived for 2 years on west 19th street, just a block away from the highline, aka the weird abandoned track. I'd go on daily runs along the west side highway and pass under the tracks and wonder what secrets lay up there, what it would feel like to walk those old tracks. It always seemed like such a waste of space. What's funny now is that, even though it has been transformed and the space is better used, I miss those days, when it was just a mysterious track overgrown with all sorts of weeds and bushes. It was so New York.

[@daysgoneby7826]

So cool that you walked by Nelson's old residence 😊 love those videos along with yours! Thank you!

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure!

[@edp2260]

I loved the Highline. I am so glad I got to visit NYC last year before all this started! I got to do summer streets the same trip!

[@ActionKid]

Please do!

[@darindickerson8802]

Looking forward when they finish The Lowline on the LES. Real sunlight and a Park underground at a old trolley terminal👍👌

Wow that was impressive. Bravo thanks for sharing this I will watch this again I loved the city walk on top of the city so amazing 😇😇😇take care

[@dream.machine]

Wow! This is a world's difference from 2019 when you walked there! So strict, but still a nice video overall AK. I enjoyed the video, but man these are weird historic times we are living in.

[@lacynylons6317]

Wow! Need to have an appointment now to go to The Highline. Similar to The Vessel appointment with specific time slots. 😱

[@ssadvweld1]

So happy you got to take this long awaited walk on the High Line. Thank you for letting us come along. PS - I think after Covid they should continue limiting the number allowed or at least keep the one way flow. It is way too crowded in nice weather IMO.

[@ParkAvenueGentleman]

Superb job Action Kid!!! 💥💥 You are one of NYC's priceless assets!! Keep on Rockin!! 💥💥💥

[@ActionKid]

Thanks! Will do!

[@LittleTut]

Thanks Ken for another great walking video! :))

[@TheFlush1980]

Nice to give a shoutout to Nelson Sullivan’s house. The meat packing district (and New York as a whole) has changed so much since the 80s. It was dirty and dilapidated back then, it has gotten a massive glow up. New York certainly is beautiful now.

[@NewWalker]

I was there too yesterday!! So happy and excited they reopened... Stay safe and have a nice weekend !! 😊👍💕

[@ActionKid]

So cool!

[@jarno1208]

The High Line is so cool and amazing. Did for the first time last summer.

when I left nyc in 94 this was not there just a ugly abandoned highway this is fantastic for walkers a jewel in new york city a very urban center

28:24 - That looks like the same lady who being photographed in Hudson Yards in a later live stream.

[@ssadvweld1]

22:20 - I think these will be The XI West and East Towers aka "The Eleven". Google maps only has images from 2011. Time to update The High Line footage Google!

[@stevenfranco6476]

Current employee here. The best times to film are on the weekdays because the weekends are usually busier.

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

Hats off to you. It's so hot in the NYC metro area that I don't even want to go outside to get the mail. Been hovering around 100 degrees F, PLUS 65 degree F dew points for the past 5 or 6 days...............which are absolutely MISERABLE! I am ALL about fall and winter.

[@vicg28]

Great video. Managed to walk a good bit of the highline in march 2019. Beautiful area in a bustling city. Will definetly do it again ❤

[@ActionKid]

Sounds great!

[@citibikewalkeat1286]

So nice without being so crowded...I like the polka dots on the ground.

[@mynewyork165]

I used to work for a wholesale company called The Sarut Group. It was in that neighborhood. I also went to a place called The Cooler a bunch of times. That was a great club! They filmed one of MTV's The Real World there. And there was a great, diner-esc restaurant on Gansevoort Street with the plastic used in meatpacking warehouses still on the door. Sadly it's gone out of business a long time ago.

[@user-hq7sr4ky6i]

Un lugar muy bonito. Excelente video.

[@mikegross6107]

Unless one sees the tracks you would NEVER believe this use to be an elevated "L" train! I used to ride all over the city when I was only around 12 or 13 (now 84) on the L's and subways BY MYSELF most of the time. Used to try to get on the first car to watch my progress from the glass.

[@ssadvweld1]

The time I walked from the WTC to the West Village I was on Hudson for a long time and worried I was going the wrong way because it was not a street I had heard of before. Thankfully I saw an NYPD officer who said I was crazy for walking so far but I was going the right way. BTW I would have hopped on a train if there had been one on Hudson Street! This was long before I discovered you AK!

Hi Action Kid. My wife and I are great fans of your strides. Keep it going. Just one recommendation.. every once in a while take a little time to stop and make a 360° view. Then focus on your view to where you walked from. Maybe there are some buildings or views that can be appreciated. Great work! You're the NYC man!

What a great way to reinvent an unused elevated train station! Props for the person/persons who designed this? I have never heard of The high Line. When was your other walk of this, I would like to see it. I understand why you didn't want to narrate this walk, but obviously the lady with the baby couldn't resist, Lol!! Her baby must be coming up on a year old or just turned 1. The baby never felt grass or sand. It will be quite interesting for children maybe 7 yrs from now (age 10-12 now) if they will remember this time. Great walk.
