I feel Vertigo up there.

I generally hate the touristy areas of NYC but I love the High Line.

[@HereBeBarr]

Agreed

[@ricardocampos6517]

How can you hate the empire state.

[@zaco21_]

Why?

[@rmknicks]

@@zaco21_ Because it amuses me and it's pretty.

[@zaco21_]

@@rmknicks no why don’t u like Touristy Areas of NYC?

[@Gigi4u]

I was there before it turned into the highline. Even back then I found it beautiful but love what they made out of it. It's beautiful ❤

[@FoodandFootprints]

Interesting fact about the Westside Cowboys!

[@HereBeBarr]

Yes, I love it.

[@JanLarson]

The High Line is fabulous. It is wonderful that it was saved and turned into a beautiful, urban park.

[@MichaelWConnor]

Jon you’re a modern day historian. Thank you for bringing your unique perspective of our iconic city to the world. Keep creating ✅💯

[@amiranore1707]

Your videos literally put me at ease. I have a pretty fair level of anxiety and the background music plus the views of the city help me so much and I can’t wait to move there next year.

[@quilton1857]

You are the absolute authority on NYC! Thanks for all the amazing content. Can’t wait to visit NY

[@clarissakrigger4599]

Same :)

[@user-ur9mv9ot5k]

Thx for sharing the experience of visiting High Line with us!!! Ur video is extremely awesome and helpful! Thx❤️

[@aptadpamu]

My favorite feature is the 10th Ave overlook. I was impressed that the theater style benches were ingeniously designed to be wheelchair accessible.

[@tobik.8135]

Thanks John for taking me back to great memories I’m having about spending time at the High Line park. It’s such a beautiful place.

[@louisea6109]

Great video! Walked The High Line last year on my vacation, just loved it! Join their organization. The money goes to keeping up the great work to keep it going. Lived at Gansevoort st in the ’80ies. Much have changed.. for better & for worse. The Big Apple - forever in my ♥️

[@TripHacksDC]

Awesome tour, Jon! The 10th Ave overlook is awesome. I could sit there and watch for a long time.

[@HereBeBarr]

Yeah it's kind of addicting haha.

[@TommyboyGTP]

I went in March 2018 on the first day of spring the city got a foot of snow. The following day we went and walked the High Line. It was really awesome seeing everything blanketed in snow from the viewpoints above the ground.

[@TheGriffin66]

High line is awesome , i’ll walk it every time i’m in nyc. Thanks for the new facts, i’ll be able to see it in a new light knowing them

[@worldtravelrafhat7886]

Love the High Line! Thanks for sharing! It brings up nice memories.

[@RobertoLopezstudyis]

I love the Highline! It is very beautiful and the best time to visit it is in the wintertime where there is less crowds! Love your video a lot! Thanks for posting it!

[@alexuslgbt5580]

It's such a simple attraction but I loved it, gave a different perspective on things. Recommended.

[@DiscoverWithDima]

Great video man, absolutely love the High Line. Can't wait to visit NYC again!

[@user-vo4ix4sd4z]

Thanks for your introduction of New York spots!! If I have time in the future, I will go to your recommends spots!

[@viadharmawheel]

Walked it many times. I know many say it is touristy but I have a connection with park spaces in NYC. Plan to walk it many more times. I have done it in all seasons, although in the rain wasn't too cool...

[@clintonefird3076]

Have a week booked for Dec 2021. This is on my list of things to do. Great video.

Thanks Jacob !!!

[@lashelljohnson5404]

Great video. I just visited in August and we walked the High Line. Fun fact, the loungers you were laying on actually move along a railroad track. Pretty cool.

[@AnkleSnapper72]

Flew from Australia for Wrestle Mania 29, and The High Line was one of the tourist things on my list. Got to walk it, feel it, took lotsa photos. Great place.

[@healingwithally]

heading to new york in 5 days for the first time and i’ve been watching your videos for 2 hours! you’re definitely settling my nerves a little bit and getting me even more excited. thank you so much for these vids!!!

[@fcojavaa]

I like your jackets very much. And your matching gloves. Your image is flawless and your voice is very agreeable.

[@funkyswede62]

Went on the High Line back in 2020, it was amazing and interesting. Highly recommended!

[@user-missensui]

It's a really interesting video and the explanation is detailed. This video make me want to visit this place to see the beautiful views and artworks by myself 😍

[@tatangl14]

Great videos. Thanks, Jon!

[@AbstractAngelArtist]

Awesome! thanks for showing us

[@fog37766]

Yes the high line is on my todo when i visit NYC again in may.

[@outdoormusings7688]

The High Line was a great place to walk. I was there over the weekend and enjoyed it very much.

[@runawaytechgal1467]

We cannot wait to see this when we visit in July!

[@marry1321]

High line is more cool at night! The lights make it very charming

[@Jervisdude]

The viewpoint over the street is my favorite. My favorite piece of art are the brass wizard shoes. Look for them in the plantings.

[@garethchapman5468]

Awesome Vlog as ever. Taking my girlfriend to NYC on December 5th fo the frist time, we're coming from the UK and can;t wait. Your Vlogs have helped me plan a number of things to do!! Thanks!

Whoa all of the diner scenes in Taxi Driver were filmed there?? Very cool!

Yes sir.

[@Juanita1192000]

Great video. I've been to the HighLine a few times, but wish I had seen this video first! Next time I'll grab the app. Thanks for the video.

[@HereBeBarr]

No problem

Lovely High Line!

[@mabelgomez9157]

John we are ready to get lost in Manhattan next week, GRACIAS for all your useful videos!!!

[@menyarenal74]

Great video! I want to visit New York some day.

[@JamieMPhoto]

I discovered the High Line when I ran across a book by photographer Joel Sternfeld, who helped document its abandoned state and supplied the photographs that were used to publicize the effort to make it what it is today. I was so excited to get to visit it in June, and now I am ready to go back after seeing this!

[@HereBeBarr]

:)

[@atomicmik69]

It never was truly abandoned most people just wanted nothing to do with the people who called it home.

[@monsieurmike2072]

An excellent watch. Well done.

[@robbinblack8530]

Been to NYC 4 times going on my 5th trip there in a couples of month! I really enjoy all your contents, the majority of the places you showcase, I never knew exist. 🙄

[@py2007]

Great video as always..

[@allenchapman4809]

Was just there today visiting this beautiful city

[@bhismilinirampersad3360]

Cant beleive I walk it all the to the vessel 😊 Dec 2019 The weather was really nice Thanks for the info 👍🇹🇹

[@Jackie1111]

Love your videos and personality :)

[@clementdeneuville4287]

Thanks my bro 🎉

[@oscarwu3046]

what a nice video! I've never been to New York before but it seems like New York is a beautiful place that you can live slow-paced life in there. I think maybe I will want to visit the city someday! Thanks for making this wonderful video. ：）

[@alethiamillner5603]

I worked here twice asa seasonal custodian. I love it to pieces

[@LeonardSchmiel]

Thats so cool!!!!

[@852hk]

Lovely, wanna travel to NYC soon… ❤️❤️

[@bukyanty]

Great video, very informative! I liked the part about the westside cowboys, never heard of it. Funny story from one of the times I went there, I missread the sign for taglialatella galleries, I read it like tagliatella, I must’ve been hungry 😄 There’s a secret gem in the area I find really interesting. If you go south from 14th street, just past where the video projection is happening and look toward the Hudson you will see a rusty metal arch, it’s pier 54, the planned destination of the titanic. You can see it in the video around the 1 minute mark 🙂

[@NKsEntertainment]

Awesome 👍

[@eliasvlogs9733]

Great video mi friend have a great day

[@PM.68]

Very interesting.

[@michaelburgess9707]

Thank you, well done. I am surprised that you didn't point out all those world class buildings that have been built since the inception of the High Line. Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel and Renzo Piano all have spectacular buildings located on or near the High Line.

[@cirrus070]

Just got back from NYC!! Enjoyed my stay!! Its best to experience the city in two ways walking and subway!! Dont rent a car!

[@veronicaa.6122]

Love your talent and your true passion for the big city!

[@daveg9000]

Well done.

[@christalwong70]

"i barely broke a sweat" haha! great one Jon!

[@chayn9721]

When I went for the first time earlier this year I had the hardest time finding a way to the Chelsea Market from the high line. We kept walking back and forth until I finally pulled out my maps app to guide us!

[@HereBeBarr]

hahaha

[@Cro4tm4n73]

Yeah, well, good for you ;) We didn't manage to find it and had to come another day especially to see CM.

[@waltman333]

I remember that area from the 40's when the railroad man on the horse rode in front of the train. Brings back memories......Walt in Miami

[@HereBeBarr]

Wow

[@marywilson5025]

Really helpful, thanks! Just wondering how much time to schedule for walking the high line? Assuming a few stops along the way to enjoy the view!

[@mkim3280]

You have a great channel!

[@sjxmd6489]

Any videos for 2019 black Friday deals? Thanks. Love your videos.

[@tamunachen466]

I love the high line! Would you do a tour to Industry City in Brooklyn (Sunset Park)?

[@keysersoze9469]

Amazing place, I'd suggest you go early in the morning to avoid crowds :-) Also there are other cool spots around, for example the mother Theresa/Ghandi mural which can be seen from some points near Chelsea market, the Starbucks reserve roastery which is really beautiful for coffee lovers, and also the building behind the "LOVE" sign was one of my favorites in the entire city, designed by zaha Hadid if I'm not mistaken. As always, great video!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks :) And yes it was packed even on a COLDDD windy Saturday.

[@jeffmiller9208]

I had a day trip coming up yesterday and saw your video about the High Line. I expected it to be an OK way to kill time before the play we were seeing. My wife and I were blown away by how beautiful and accessible and popular it was and how easy it was go 6-10 blocks without crossing any streets. It made our day and I've been raving about it to everyone I know since then. It was not at all what we were expecting to find in NYC. Great video, even 3 years later.

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks

[@The_Fight_Game]

How long did it take to walk the whole thing? I may have missed it in the video. I’m headed there on Friday and would love to do this time permitting!

[@KingBaconMonger]

@@The_Fight_Game Sorry, probably too late, but I believe it's 30 minutes to walk the whole High Line one direction at an average pace. The amazing thing about it is that you can walk in tourist mode (not paying much attention to traffic or figuring out complicated directions) from the train station to the High Line to Hudson Yards.... all over the place.

[@Alwzmdl]

Chelsea food market? I've been living here for about 4 1/2 years and this is my first time hearing about it. Gotta check it out. Good videos!

[@pbeckerle]

One thing to also mention is the varied architecture along the Highline. There is Billions of dollars of new buildings by the world’s leading architects along the Highline. I like nighttime visits during winter, it allows views into the buildings and apartments.

[@albertoalbertoni9529]

A recovery of the intelligent and well done territory ..... very iconic like all NYC.

[@m.sakai_yt]

Hey man great video. Now High Line Park you have to make reservation to go there. I do not know the exact details, however, there are parts of High Line Park that I can visit. Which is the one near 30th street entrance and Vessel is connected.

[@Marchant2]

Now they’re creating an underground garden in NYC. The place just gets more and more interesting.

[@dewnyc]

It reopened today! It would be great to see what has changed there.

[@MickAngelhere]

So that’s where the Westside Cowboys come from I love how the history of the railway has been preserved even the abandoned part showing how nature takes over when things are not used. Great video and yes you are getting famous you might need a couple of bodyguards and PA people to help you with the fame 👍👍👍👍

[@HereBeBarr]

😂😂😂😂

[@JusJ06]

Hello Barr. I am an autistic teenager who've always wanted to go to NYC. I even have New York wallpapers in my bedroom. Ever since I was a little kid I've always wanted to go to NYC.

Hello there John. Now I'm finding lots and lots of video's about the High Line. So I'm checking those out. A little bit of a rabbit hole for me but I'll try to manage screen time about this. Hmmmm. I will keep an eye on what you are doing tho. Best wishes.

[@abia2104]

Great video 🙂, I would like to know how much time does it take to walk the High Line?
