The High Line and Chelsea Market: A Good Pairing for a Walk
(revised 2017) The advent of spring, with its signs of growth and rebirth, is apparent both on the High Line, where volunteers are cutting away the old growth to reveal fresh blooms, and inside the Chelsea Market, where new tenants are revitalizing the space. A walk to take in both can become an exploration of bounty and surprise, a sensual walk of adventure and sustenance.
Walking the High Line for a round trip from Gansevoort to W. 30th and then back again adds up to a healthy 2-mile walk. Regular walkers of the elevated park look for an excuse to go there. Especially delightful is showing off the park, a model of its kind, to visitors from out of town.
If you haven't stopped into Chelsea Market lately, you may want to take a detour from the High Line at the stairs on W. 16th St. and walk through the market for a quick assessment or a sampling. Among the sampling suggestions - the turkey chili or rice bowl at Friedman's Lunch, a gelato combination from L'Arte del Gelato, and/or coffee from Ninth Street Espresso. It's not all about food either. The excellent Posman Books is here as well as a pop-up from Artists & Fleas.
What we learn every day is that the city, like many of its citizens, is a work in progress.
