What is the High Line? New York City

What is the High Line? New York City
Travel Vlog #57
In this video I'm going to take you on a tour of The High Line in New York City and show you some interesting history of how it came to be! For nature lovers visiting New York City, I recommend taking a walk on The High Line!
The High Line currently requires timed entry in which you login to a downloaded app. You will be allowed to enter at your designated time. We did not plan ahead and we had to wait about 20 minutes. After walking the high line from South to North, the walk ended in the Hudson Yards right at the Vessel which is the coolest building for the perfect photo opportunity!!!
We visited the High Line after lunch on Day 2 of the NYC Vlog (full playlist here: • New York City Vlog

I'm literally watching this in germany rn, bc our english exam tomorrow will be based on the information of the vid

[@SwiftyTravels]

Are you serious?!? Thats crazy! Good luck to you! 👍🤞

[@trvlnthru]

The High Line looks like a very good re-use of the space to make a natural oasis in the middle of the city. I love that there is a place to walk up above the busy-ness of the city. The Vessel seems like a cool landmark as well. Thanks for taking us along. We are enjoying your NYC series!

[@SwiftyTravels]

Oh good! Im so glad you are enjoying it! I wanted to visit the high line after reading it was one of the top things to do but I didn’t really understand what it was before I went. I really enjoyed it!!

[@user-fu3ce9ly5i]

While others went on a vacation We brought the people The Roseville Firehouse Is now functional

[@freesicily]

I think it's brilliant to use an old disused railway line in this way.

[@SwiftyTravels]

I agree!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

You really do have a strange knack for coming across proposals! I can't say I've ever seen a single one! Hahah! New York seems like such an interestinginterweaving of buildings and structures. So unique.

[@SwiftyTravels]

I couldn't believe it!! :-) Another one!! Thanks for watching, I really enjoyed this area!

[@GladysandKenny]

I love this place!! The city has so many things to do. You can spend days sightseeing and doing things.

[@SwiftyTravels]

There are so many things we DIDNT DO!!! Next time!👍 thx for watching!

[@QisthinasDiary]

Another bucket list to add 😅. My bucket is full almost spill over

[@SwiftyTravels]

[@QisthinasDiary]

@@SwiftyTravels ameen 😇

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

In Chicago, we have something similar called the 606 and also love how it connects different neighborhoods. Glad this place was rezoned to make something so special.

[@SwiftyTravels]

I've never been to Chicago- but when I go, I'll have to check that out! I really enjoyed this walk. Did you guys walk the high line when you were out there?

[@totalwomanja9105]

I could listen to you all day. Lovely video with useful tips. Thanks for sharing !

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thanks so much 👍🙏

I agree!! 😍😀👍

[@Jay-um8mn]

Great video Ty for sharing your experience along with some history

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@j.w.grayson6937]

I appreciate your video as I was trying to learn about it and so many of the videos were simply someone walking for what seems like hours on end, with no commentary.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Good! 👍😀 I try to provide useful information. Thanks for your comment!

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks for sharing the history behind the high line. That is pretty interesting to learn about the railway that once passed through there. That is such an interesting car garage. I would be so fascinated to see how it operates haha. Wow, this is your second marriage proposal encounter while in New York. You have a lucky charm when it comes to that. Take care and safe travels.

[@SwiftyTravels]

I really love seeing the old historical photos of the same area, SO DIFFERENT!! and I couldn't believe another proposal! Crazy!

[@TheBlindAcorn]

Very neat, I always wondered what that was like

[@Berkana]

2:37 You ask "Does anyone know what instrument that is?" That instrument is a Chinese erhu, a two stringed bowed instrument with a skin as its sounding surface, comparable to how a banjo uses a tight skin as its sounding surface. The horse hair of the bow passes between the two strings such that the bow cannot be separated from the instrument.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thank you! So interesting!!

[@nornironnomad]

I want to go and visit New York sometime, I am a fan of railway heritage also so this looks like a cool place to visit!

[@SwiftyTravels]

New York was a big dream for us as well!! The high line is such a lovely walk! Thanks for watching!

[@kyles5960]

Very nice

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thank you!

[@AleSalvino]

So cool! The railway passed through there at some point? If I remember correctly you had another video in NYC with another marriage proposal haha it's amazing you're catching it! Honestly after seeing all your videos, NYC is now on my to-do for Jan/Feb next year!

[@SwiftyTravels]

Yes! 2 proposals!! That is awesome! Just expect very cold weather that time of the year!

[@Qiubenjamin]

Highline is so enjoyable!

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thanks!! I thought so! 😀 Have a great day!!

[@SorgiStories]

Really cool! Can't wait to get up to NYC. Very interesting story. - Anthony

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thanks again! I really enjoyed the high line, I keep saying that don't I?!? All of it was awesome!!

[@ArifAli-hg1eq]

Thx for sharing.

[@SwiftyTravels]

You are welcome !

[@Roadmap2Adventures]

Very informative video! Really enjoyed all the facts you shared, so interesting! Too bad the timing didn’t work out to see the proposal 😂

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thanks so much for watching!! We would’ve stayed to watch the proposal… but NYC- so much to do! So little time!😂😂

[@SicilianStealth]

Not only is it a public park but it is funded privately. True but while there are plenty of stairwells there are elevators at 14th 17th 23rd and 30th. It hasn't needed a QR code and a reservation time for a while.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thanks for the info!!!

[@deborahjones7003]

How did you find so many beautiful green spaces loved it

[@SwiftyTravels]

There were so many green spaces!!

[@TheJournalofanExplorer]

Never knew this place existed!

[@SwiftyTravels]

I found it when looking up things to do in the city- I hadn't heard of it either! It was really cool!!

[@kevanhubbard9673]

A very stentorian instrument whatever it was!They do urban astronomy on the High Line every Tuesday April until October from night fall although thinking about it night fall is going to be pretty late in June!

[@SwiftyTravels]

What a great idea- urban astronomy!!!

[@NaomisAdventures]

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Question asked. Question answered. Love the art there. You are the angel of love! Is that vessel the one they call the beehive?

[@SwiftyTravels]

Yes, I believe the beehive and the vessel is the same thing. Angel of love,,I like it!!❤️❤️😄
