Following the trend of rails to trails conversions all over the country, the High Line opened in June 2009. It takes the idea a step further though, since the train line is elevated. The section from Gansevoort to 20th Street, roughly paralleling 10th Avenue, is open, fully landscaped with benches. The website is well-designed and worth checking out before going. There's an entrance on either end, but also a few access points in the middle. On the north end of the currently open high line, visit the General Theological Seminary. The grounds and old church are spectacular. Looking for cold drinks and caffeine we wandered into La Taza de Oro. It doesn't take long to realize this place hasn't changed in years. It seems like a good place to get octopus soup, beef tongue, ox-tail, and a codfish sandwich.
